After obtaining my PhD in applied mathematics in 2015 and a short adventure as a postdoc, I joined Sioux Mathware as a Mathware Engineer in 2017. In that time I have done many projects solving mathematical problems for a wide variety of customers, but I have also started to focus more on the question of how the department as a whole can improve the quality of its deliverables. In this role, I have taken a keen interest in the Julia language, as it promises us to easily write software that is both legible and performant. Over the past year and a bit, this has materialized into contributing to the deployment of Julia at one of our customers. I am also busy building a cross-department Julia competence within Sioux.
Sessions
A minisymposium dealing with the social and technical challenges of adopting Julia in an industrial environment. Speaking out on the qualms that we -- and our colleagues -- have with the language, we can start to address the real bottlenecks. At the same time, we indubitably have much to learn from each other's experiences. It could also be a motivation for others to start to make the push for Julia in their organization.
Sioux is a high-tech service provider in the brainport region. Its Mathware department has a long-standing history as a technology translator, linking novel research to real-world applications. In this talk, I will showcase how we are adopting the Julia language for this purpose.
