language and offer to get some hands-on practice.
The selection of exercises and small …
Just one day after my talk at the Lüchow group in Aachen, on 6th May I was asked to give a short introduction to Julia at the Infomath seminar series at Sorbonne Université. While virtual seminars certainly don't share the same spirit as in-person ones do, the ability to quickly …

Yesterday I gave a short lightning talk at the Inria Devmeetup about Julia. My intention was to show a few of the design aspects of this rather recent programming language and motivated from my experiences in my current PostDoc project at the MATHERIALS team hint at interesting ongoing developments. For …
read moreAs an aside from my plane-wave DFT project
at CERMICS, I spent some time in the last few weeks polishing up
the ctx context library
and publishing it via github.
The ctx library provides one approach how to tackle a common challenge
in larger scientific simulation codes, namely how to …
I am very happy to announce
that my graduate school
asked me to repeat the block course about bash scripting,
which I first taught in 2015.
In the course we will take a structured look at UNIX shell scripting from the bottom up. We will revise some elements about the …
read moreIn the past couple of days I hacked together a small Python script, which searches through the EMSL basis set exchange library of Gaussian basis sets via the commandline.
Unlike the webinterface it allows to use grep-like regular expressions for
matching the names and descriptions of the basis sets …
Last year I taught a course about
bash scripting,
during which I briefly touched on the scripting language awk. Some of the attending
people wanted to hear more about this, so I was asked by my graduate
school to prepare a short block
course on awk programming for this year …
Last Thursday, I gave another short talk at the Heidelberg
Chaostreff NoName e.V. This time I talked about writing tests in C++
using the testing libraries
rapidcheck and
Catch.
In the talk I presented some ideas how to incorporate property-based
testing into test suites for C++ programs. The idea …
Currently I am busy preparing the lecture notes and the exercises for the advanced bash scripting course that I will teach for PhD students of my graduate school. The course will be a block course running from 24th till 28th August and there are still some spaces. So in case …
read moreA while ago I setup a github account in order to contribute a BugFix to the dealii Finite Element software I am using for my PhD project. Since then not very much had happened to the account until I decided to add the repository update-scripts in which I plan to …
