Hunter Memorial Table Of Contents WelcomeNewsContact Next topic Research This Page Show Source Search this site Welcome¶I am an associate professor in the Department of Statistics at UC Berkeley, and a Faculty Scientist atthe Data Science and Technology Division of Lawrence Berkeley NationalLaboratory, as well as a researcher at the Berkeley Institute for Data Science(BIDS, an Institute where I am a founding co-investigator). My researchinterests, shaped over years of working on a number of applied problems inphysics, mathematics and neuroscience, revolve around the question of buildingtools for computational research across all scientific domains.I am convinced that we need better tools for scientific computing, and that ourefforts to build them based on the Python language can make a significantdifference to how scientific research is conducted and disseminated. I createdthe IPython project while a graduate student in 2001, which has now evolvedinto the large and collaborative `Project Jupyter`_, where a talented team doesall the hard work. I am an active member of the community that creates freelyavailable scientific computing tools around the SciPy stack, I regularlylecture about scientific computing in Python and I am a founding board member ofthe NumFOCUS foundation.

UC Berkeley also put out a more detailed release.March 2011I’ve finally gathered the slides for our minisymposium on Python forScientific computing at the SIAM CSE 2011 conference(blog post andpictures).March 2011The Sage Days 29 workshop was a success on multiple fronts, and inparticular for IPython we made a ton of progress.Older news …Contact¶Fernando PerezEmailfernando.perez@berkeley.edu (primary)fperez@lbl.govOfficeEvans Hall 419Phone: (510) 642-9968Fax : (510) 642-7892PostStatistics Department367 Evans HallUniversity of California, BerkeleyBerkeley, CA 94720-3860 Navigation next Home » © Copyright 2010, Fernando Pérez.
