SciPy 2009

posted Wed 6 Jan 2010 by Michael Galloy under Python

Proceedings of the 8th Python in Science Conference are now available. I would love to have something like this for IDL.

About me

I'm a software developer focusing on high-performance computing and visualization in scientific programming. I work mostly in IDL, but occasionally use C, CUDA, and Python.

I currently work for the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) at the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory. Previously, I worked for Tech-X Corporation, where I was the main developer for GPULib, a library of IDL bindings for GPU accelerated computation routines.

I am the creator and main developer for the open source projects IDLdoc, mgunit, and rIDL.

Contact me at +Michael Galloy, @mgalloy, or via email at mgalloy at gmail dot com. For more details about me, see my CV/resume.
