Advanced software is a critical ingredient to scientific research. Training young researchers in the latest tools and techniques is an essential part of developing the skills required for a successful career both in research and in industry.

Specific topics to be covered at the school include:

• Columnar analysis and uproot 

• Distributed analysis and Dask
• Data Visualization techniques and libraries
• Using the UChicago Analysis Facility
• Statistical tools

 

The school offers a limited number of young researchers an opportunity to learn these skills from experienced scientists and instructors. Successful applicants will receive travel and lodging support to attend the school. Thank you to everyone who applied!
