Software
I am one of the author and current maintainers of the Modular toolkit for Data Processing (MDP): a Python data processing framework.
Teaching
I taught some computational neuroscience modules in the past, but recently I've been teaching Software Carpentry for scientists. I am one of the organizers of the G-Node schools in scientific computing:
- Advanced Scientific Programming in Python, August 31−September 4, 2009, Berlin , Germany
- Advanced Scientific Programming in Python, February 8−12, 2010, Warsaw , Poland
- Advanced Scientific Programming in Python, October 4-8, 2010, Trento, Italy
- Advanced Scientific Programming in Python, September 11-16, 2011, St Andrews, UK
