Ben Alterman | He was at SSL in Berkeley for a while. | 20:59:40 |
Ben Alterman | Now he's at UDel working towards tenure. | 20:59:59 |
@dstansby:matrix.org | nah, November will be busy for those of us who don't have the right contacts to get the PSP data now 😉 | 21:00:47 |
Ben Alterman | If you're still looking for folks to do python in helio stuff for the grants, I bet he'd have an interest there too. | 21:00:53 |
@dstansby:matrix.org | but seriously, this is a good suggestion 👍️ | 21:01:26 |
Ben Alterman | Yeah | 21:02:14 |
@namurphy:matrix.org | Oh! And it's worth thinking about the different use cases for distribution functions. In situ data, PIC simulations, dispersion relation solvers, etc. | 21:02:39 |
Ben Alterman | I'm happy e-mail him and cc folks who want to chat about it. | 21:02:46 |
@namurphy:matrix.org | ...and the different data sources. | 21:02:51 |
Ben Alterman | yeah | 21:02:59 |
Ben Alterman | Ben's thought TONS about this. | 21:03:02 |
@dstansby:matrix.org | that would be great | 21:03:09 |
Ben Alterman | His thesis was on Wind/FC fitting algorithms. | 21:03:12 |
Ben Alterman | Janus/FC deals with them in python heavily. | 21:03:22 |
Ben Alterman | He's got a bunch of experience here. | 21:03:30 |
@namurphy:matrix.org | That'd be great! I'm often horrible at conversing over email, but it he could join in on a PyHC telecon or go to one of our meetings, that would be wonderful | 21:03:41 |
Ben Alterman | He's teaching this semester, so I don't know what his schedule is like. | 21:04:10 |
@namurphy:matrix.org | Ah, understood | 21:04:31 |
@namurphy:matrix.org | One of the things we're planning on doing soon-ish for PlasmaPy is implementing a dispersion relation solver. That would depend on distribution function data structures. | 21:06:29 |
Ben Alterman | yeah | 21:07:02 |
Ben Alterman | why don't I e-mail him and CC you | 21:07:09 |
@namurphy:matrix.org | Awesome! | 21:07:20 |
Ben Alterman | dstansby: Would you like me to include you as well? | 21:07:56 |
@dstansby:matrix.org | yes please! | 21:08:01 |
@namurphy:matrix.org | Feel free to link him to this room and the PyHC matrix room too; I'm better at discussing things here | 21:09:07 |
@dstansby:matrix.org | In reply to @namurphy:matrix.org One of the things we're planning on doing soon-ish for PlasmaPy is implementing a dispersion relation solver. That would depend on distribution function data structures. Yay maybe my dispersion solver API can be revived! | 21:09:36 |
Ben Alterman | dstansby: Where are you these days? MSSL? | 21:10:06 |
@dstansby:matrix.org | Yep, as of Monday | 21:10:40 |
@dstansby:matrix.org | Am I right in thinking you've moved too? | 21:10:52 |
@namurphy:matrix.org | I've been thinking a lot about software architecture, though most of my work has been in simulations with the fluid approximation (huzzah for the chromosphere!) so I need to learn more about use cases for in situ data, etc. | 21:10:54 |
