@blalterman:matrix.orgBen AltermanHe was at SSL in Berkeley for a while.20:59:40
@blalterman:matrix.orgBen AltermanNow he's at UDel working towards tenure.20:59:59
@dstansby:matrix.org@dstansby:matrix.orgnah, November will be busy for those of us who don't have the right contacts to get the PSP data now 😉21:00:47
@blalterman:matrix.orgBen AltermanIf 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@dstansby:matrix.orgbut seriously, this is a good suggestion 👍️21:01:26
@blalterman:matrix.orgBen AltermanYeah21:02:14
@namurphy:matrix.org@namurphy:matrix.orgOh! 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
@blalterman:matrix.orgBen AltermanI'm happy e-mail him and cc folks who want to chat about it.21:02:46
@namurphy:matrix.org@namurphy:matrix.org...and the different data sources.21:02:51
@blalterman:matrix.orgBen Altermanyeah21:02:59
@blalterman:matrix.orgBen AltermanBen's thought TONS about this.21:03:02
@dstansby:matrix.org@dstansby:matrix.orgthat would be great21:03:09
@blalterman:matrix.orgBen AltermanHis thesis was on Wind/FC fitting algorithms.21:03:12
@blalterman:matrix.orgBen AltermanJanus/FC deals with them in python heavily.21:03:22
@blalterman:matrix.orgBen AltermanHe's got a bunch of experience here.21:03:30
@namurphy:matrix.org@namurphy:matrix.orgThat'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 wonderful21:03:41
@blalterman:matrix.orgBen AltermanHe's teaching this semester, so I don't know what his schedule is like.21:04:10
@namurphy:matrix.org@namurphy:matrix.orgAh, understood21:04:31
@namurphy:matrix.org@namurphy:matrix.orgOne 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
@blalterman:matrix.orgBen Altermanyeah21:07:02
@blalterman:matrix.orgBen Altermanwhy don't I e-mail him and CC you21:07:09
@namurphy:matrix.org@namurphy:matrix.orgAwesome!21:07:20
@blalterman:matrix.orgBen Alterman dstansby: Would you like me to include you as well? 21:07:56
@dstansby:matrix.org@dstansby:matrix.orgyes please!21:08:01
@namurphy:matrix.org@namurphy:matrix.orgFeel free to link him to this room and the PyHC matrix room too; I'm better at discussing things here21:09:07

Yay maybe my dispersion solver API can be revived!

@blalterman:matrix.orgBen Alterman dstansby: Where are you these days? MSSL? 21:10:06
@dstansby:matrix.org@dstansby:matrix.orgYep, as of Monday21:10:40
@dstansby:matrix.org@dstansby:matrix.orgAm I right in thinking you've moved too?21:10:52
@namurphy:matrix.org@namurphy:matrix.orgI'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
