Still in academia but now in a more support role: research software engineer helping researchers develop optimal code for HPC systems. It’s bit a of a change but allows you to see other aspects of science you wouldn’t normally interact with. My last project was on molecular dynamics, for example 😊

Happy to announce that next week I’ll be joining the Scientific Computing Center at @kit.edu as a Research Software Engineer! I can’t wait to get started and work with new projects across different aspects of science 😊

Team Saheeli all the way!
My first commander precon I ever got was the original Saheeli precon from Commander 2018. Led to a love for artifacts that still exists to this day 😄

That's the issue. I am unsure exactly want to do. All I know is that I want to code. If I could find a position doing some fluid sims for some company that would be great but those roles are few and far between. I also have the issue of a two body problem now so I don't want to go too far 😅

So I am wondering if anyone has out there has been in my position and if so, what you all ended up doing? Is it a case I am just judging myself to hard, do I need consider advancing my skills in these areas or consider something entirely different? Cheers in advance!

Typically they go into data science or software dev. These days data science is mostly ML based which I haven't really explored, and the most software dev I've done is make a few hundred line C++ code to add a library to a sim code (aside from a lot of python analysis code).

As some of you may know, I left academia after my PhD and currently looking for a job in industry. At the moment I feel sorta lost. As someone who worked mostly analysing simulation data, I don't feel qualified for most jobs that astronomers typically go for in industry.

Note to self, don’t write conference abstracts at the end of the first work day after coming back from a conference. The amount of nonsense that I’ve just read is unreal 😅

Hello Bluesky! I think it’s time for a bit of intro! My name is Glen and I’m a PhD student working on the gas dynamics of the Milky Way ISM and it’s impact on star formation and other things 🔭
Originally coming from the Twitter side of things so hoping to reconnect with some astro-peeps 😊
