15 Credits SPRING



Aims/Description: Research in the context of both physical and data-driven science requires a backbone of well-written software, but scientific researchers are typically not trained at length in software engineering, the principles for creating better software products. To address this gap, in particular for young researchers new to programming, we aim to develop the skills to ensure the usability, sustainability and practicality of research software they develop.

Restrictions on availability: Available to CDT Advanced Metallic Systems students only.
