Sylwester Arabas

I lead the open-atmos-krk research software engineering team at AGH University in Krakow, where we develop and maintain several Python packages, including Numba-MPI, PySDM, PyMPDATA, and PyPartMC. Before joining AGH, I worked as a postdoc at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and at Jagiellonian University. During a three-year break from academia, I worked as a quant-dev in the financial sector. I completed my MSc and PhD in physics at the University of Warsaw.

Gluing SciPy, Numba, and Pint to Bridge High Performance with Maintainability
Sylwester Arabas

Python excels as a glue language. This tutorial will demonstrate how to harness this strength by combining Fortran-implemented number-crunching (SciPy.odeint), object-oriented dimensional analysis for physical-unit-aware code (Pint), and just-in-time compilation (Numba). The result: a lightning-fast, bug-proof Pythonic codebase for scientific computing.
