Teaching

G-Node engages in a series of international teaching and training activities related to Neuroinformatics. These include specific courses for students, scientists and staff to promote special competences, e.g. on lab practice or scientific computing, and special topic workshops e.g. on tool development. The G-Node training offers are integrated in the teaching activities of the graduate programs of the Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience (nncn.de). Finally, G-Node organizes special topic symposia at national and international conferences dedicated to the ongoing research in the field of neuroinformatics.

Advanced Scientific Programming in Python

Reading, UK, September 5 - 11, 2016

a Summer School by the G-Node and the Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics, School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences, University of Reading, UK

Organizers: Tiziano Zito, Zbigniew Jedrzejewscy-Szmek, Etienne Roesch, and others

Scientists spend more and more time writing, maintaining, and debugging software. While techniques for doing this efficiently have evolved, only few scientists actually use them. As a result, instead of doing their research, they spend far too much time writing deficient code and reinventing the wheel. In this course we will present a selection of advanced programming techniques with theoretical lectures and practical exercises tailored to the needs of a programming scientist.

Advanced Scientific Programming in Python

Kiel, Germany, September 2 - 7, 2012

a Summer School by the G-Node and the Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel

Organizers: Christian T. Steigies, Christian Drews, Zbigniew Jedrzejewscy-Szmek, Tiziano Zito

Scientists spend more and more time writing, maintaining, and debugging software. While techniques for doing this efficiently have evolved, only few scientists actually use them. As a result, instead of doing their research, they spend far too much time writing deficient code and reinventing the wheel. In this course we will present a selection of advanced programming techniques with theoretical lectures and practical exercises tailored to the needs of a programming scientist. New skills will be tested in a real programming project: we will team up to develop an entertaining scientific computer game.

We'll use the Python programming language for the entire course. Python works as a simple programming language for beginners, but more importantly, it also works great in scientific simulations and data analysis. Clean language design and easy extensibility are driving Python to become a standard tool for scientific computing. Some of the most useful open source libraries for scientific computing and visualization will be presented.

This school is targeted at Post-docs and PhD students from all areas. Substantial proficiency in Python or in another language (e.g. Java, C/C++, MATLAB, Mathematica) is absolutely required. An optional, one-day introduction to Python is offered to participants without prior experience with the language.

Organizers: Michael Schmuker and Tiziano Zito

Many scientists spend much of their time writing, debugging, and maintaining software. But while techniques for doing this efficiently have been developed, only few scientists actually use them. As a result, they spend far too much time writing deficient code and reinventing the wheel instead of doing research. In this course we present a selection of advanced programming techniques with theoretical lectures and practical exercises tailored to the needs of the programming scientist. To spice up theory and foster our new skills in a real-world programming project, we will team up to develop an entertaining scientific computer game.
