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 ,
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. |
