projects
| simudo | Simudo is a drift-diffusion semiconductor device simulator with optics (github). I wrote most of it. Here's the paper introducing it. Here's my MSc thesis which also contains a detailed and gentle introduction to semiconductor device modeling and to the finite element method (Chapters 2—4), as well as a description of the failed attempts before arriving at the working drift-diffusion formulation used in Simudo (Chapter 6). |
| vc-workshop | UNIX shell and version control workshop docs (appropriate for self-study as well). |
| academics | Class notes and related work. |
| hydra | Fossil multi-user multi-project multiplexer. It's like github but for fossil. |
| usbsos | Debian GNU+Linux live image for remote administration for helping out non-technical users. |
| for-your-eyes-only | A (hopefully) Van Eck phreaking resistant text and image viewer. |
More projects on my hydra instance.
suggested software
- The LyX document processor. It's basically a really really nice graphical editor for LaTeX.
- Fossil, for versioning.
- KCacheGrind and pprofile are excellent tools for profiling your Python code, so that you don't waste 2 weeks getting a 3x speedup in a part of your code that only accounts for 2% of your runtime. (If you're on Windows (why are you on Windows?), you can get qcachegrind off of Anaconda.)
- FEniCS, for solving systems of partial differential equations using the finite element method. Here's a DjVu version of their book (which is 11.7 MiB instead of the 63.4 MiB PDF).
- Maxima, a Wolfram Alpha knockoff that has existed for over 30 years. Wait, what?
- Octave, a free and fairly complete reimplementation of Matlab.
- Emacs, a great operating system that lacks only a decent text editor. No, seriously though, it's a highly extensible text editor.
