Juliacon 2024

Letícia Madureira

Leticia Madureira is a PhD student in theoretical chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University. Her interests go from materials applications of molecular environments, focusing on studying conjugated systems and their quantum coherence, but also developing methods on the realm of electronic structure methods. She has been using Julia for 4 years and her goal is to answer fundamental scientific equations with high performance software engineering.

Discussing (Gender) Diversity in the Julia Community
Xuan (Tan Zhi Xuan), Letícia Madureira, Skylar Gering, Julia Gender Inclusive, Kim Louisa Auth

Julia Gender Inclusive is an initiative that aims to provide a supportive space for all gender minorities in the Julia community. In this BoF session we hope to discuss the status of (gender) diversity in the community, plan initiatives, and engage supportive allies. While we focus on gender diversity, we would like to open the discussion up to all facets of diversity to connect organizers of different diversity initiatives and start new initiatives. We invite everyone to get involved!

Julia for Fundamental Scientific Questions in Life Sciences
Paul Lang, Letícia Madureira, Max de Rooij

In the proposed panel for the Julia Conference, titled "Empowering Life Sciences with Julia," we aim to highlight the significant impact of the Julia programming language in advancing life sciences, encompassing fields like chemistry, physics, and biology. The panel will explore Julia's capabilities in handling complex computations, facilitating interdisciplinary research, and its application in data analysis, visualization, machine learning, and AI.
