  • msthesis

    My Master's Thesis in Applied Math, numerically solving a PDE about light and seaweed!

  • You're welcome! I was simulating the underwater light field for seaweed farming. If you're interested, you can check out the fortran code and thesis.

  • DDD.jl

    New generation of Discrete Dislocation Dynamics.

  • I'm finishing up my phd and we use C and cuda-accelerated matlab as our codebase. I picked up Julia last year because i try analyse my powerlifting with it. I loved it so much that I decided to use my off-time to redesign the code we use, and write a completely overkill strength training programme designer.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • gcc

  • Use Julia. Take it from me, I love Fortran, I wrote ISO_Fortran_binding.c. Though it got stylised and some compiler stuff got added before including in gcc.

  • xtb

    Semiempirical Extended Tight-Binding Program Package

  • the xtb and dftb programs are actually excellent example of well-written, clear, modern fortran codes. I've learned more from reading these codes than from any other resources.
