Dear all,
the event below may be interesting for some of you, showcasing different
career opportunities in computational physics.
One of the speakers is Gabriele Bozzola who was a numerical relativist
and author of the python package kuibit for analyzing NR data.
Best wishes
Helvi

DCOMP Early Career Office Hours
Dear DCOMP member,
Recent years have seen a growing investment in computational research
fields such as artificial intelligence, high performance computing, data
science, biotech, physics simulators, and many others. This rapid
expansion created a demand for specialized experts capable of
maintaining and developing the complex computational software
infrastructure. In response, the role of *Research Software Engineer
*(RSE) has emerged as a distinct and increasingly important career path.
A research software engineer combines strong software engineering skills
with an understanding of research workflows. RSEs build, maintain, and
optimize software that enables scientific discovery, data analysis,
simulations, machine learning workflows, and other computational
research tasks. They often work in academia, national labs, research
institutes, or R&D teams in industry.
Join us in our latest *DCOMP Office hours*
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://info.aps.org/e/640833/DPRKWmlXRCYAwLcQ--registration/2vwvzf/1758886437/h/KwDN6nHVTNa6pcnH9WCM-1oY1dfcZugDCvUNbp9URhI__;!!DZ3fjg!538KRdwYBttAUZW6W82y4XGo6f8qhsh4CqZmNw5UXWW7aSMY0ygrndNafNEkrw94VB6YeJfVLqU5M0N14A$>
, where we explore the career prospects and opportunities associated
with the RSE career path.
*What to Expect:*
This event takes form in a one-hour virtual “office hour” two speakers
who are actively involved in the RSE community. They will share their
experience in the field, discuss their current roles, and offer
practical advice for navigating this career path.
The sessions will also include open Q&A segments, giving attendees the
opportunity to ask questions and gain candid insights on this specific
career path.
The coming session is scheduled for *January 21, 2026 at 11 a.m. ET*,
and will host:
Sandra Gesing
Executive Director of US-RSE and Senior Researcher at San Diego
Supercomputing Center, where her work focuses on computational workflows
as well as distributed and parallel computing which inherently leads to
highly interdisciplinary projects. Sandra is also Director of the Center
of Excellence for Science Gateways, where she aims at supporting users,
developers and providers of science gateways, with keen interest in
sustainability of research software, usability of computational methods
and reproducibility of research results while advocating for open
science initiatives.
Gabriele Bozzola
Applied Scientist at the Amazon Center for Quantum Computing, where his
work focus on the development of tools and techniques for the design and
simulation of quantum chips aimed at quantum computing. Prior to joining
Amazon, Gabriele was Senior Scientific Software Engineer for the CliMa
project at Caltech, where he contributed to the development of robust
and accurate open-source models for climate modeling in Julia.
