Episode 536: Ryan Magee on Software Engineering in Physics Research
Ryan Magee, postdoctoral scholar research associate at LIGO Laboratory – Caltech, joins host Jeff Doolittle for a conversation about how software is used by scientists in physics research. The episode begins with a discussion of gravitational waves and the scientific processes of detection and measurement. Magee explains how data science principles are applied to scientific research and discovery, highlighting comparisons and contrasts between data science and software engineering, in general. The conversation turns to specific practices and patterns, such as version control, unit testing, simulations, modularity, portability, redundancy, and failover. The show wraps up with a discussion of some specific tools used by software engineers and data scientists involved in fundamental research.
