Introduction to Research Software Development with MATLAB

Event content

With this workshop you get a running start at research software development with MATLAB. Research software is often written, modified and maintained iteratively over time. Here we introduce three key concepts to do this in a safe and sustainable way: writing Clean Code and refactoring existing code, writing and using Unit Test and using the source control system git, especially the branching features. In addition, we will introduce MATLAB Projects to create reproducible Code Environments.

Office Hour: MATLAB Parallel Computing
Join MathWorks and GWDG for an open Q&A session on Friday, November 21, from 14:00-15:00 (Online). No registration required, the meeting link will be made available to participants of the workshop series.

About the Presenter
Dr. Thomas Künzel is a member of the Central European Sciences Team at The MathWorks, working out of the Aachen Office. He supports the successful application of MATLAB/Simulink in neuroscience research. Thomas holds a doctoral degree in Zoology/Animal Physiology from RWTH Aachen University and led a research group in auditory neuroscience before he joined the MathWorks.
