Re: [Numpy-discussion] GSoD 2021 - Statement of Interest

[Mahesh S]

Hi there,

The current documentation of NumPy is really good but a bit more
improvement can be made to it, which is the prime objective of my project.
The improvements which I mentioned in my brief proposal are strategies that
can be applied to every documentation to make it better.

Apart from general improvements most the documentation related issues in
the NumPy's GitHub issue tracker

will
be addressed. . Some needs more technical information and help from the
community. Some are due to the lack of visual aids. Most of them will be
addressed and improvements will be made such that similar issues will not
be generated in future.
Rearranging of sections in the User Guide
 can be done after
further discussions

Some examples regarding the need of restructuring and duplication are given
in the attached document. Apologies in advance if my observations are
inaccurate or nitpicks. The given doc is just a very brief one. An in-depth
proposal with all the planned changes along with solutions to close as many
issues in the tracker will be prepared. I am getting familiar with the
community and NumPy.

Hello all,

I did my MSc with Wilfried at Utrecht (the Netherlands). He's a truly
wonderful mentor with an amazing and broad grasp of the knowledge. 10/10
would recommend doing a PhD there if you or someone you know would like to
develop solar forecasting models. They are looking for pythonistas.

All the best,

Abed

Subject: Master Energy Science: Looking for PhD/junior researchers
To:


Dear all,

I am looking for talented and motivated junior researchers that would be
interested to work in two projects:

1) ROBUST project: this recently granted project is focused on
investigating options for flexibility in local electricity grids by using
vehicle-to-grid technology in neighborhoods in Utrecht and Arnhem. We
require experience with data analysis and simulation using Python. In this
project we collaborate with WeDriveSolar and TUDelft. We have funding for
at least 44 months available.

2) PVObs and SolFaSi projects. Both projects deal with photovoltaic
performance and forecasting. The PVObs project aims to create a large
database of PV systems in the Netherlands in order to assess their
performance and from that determine with better accuracy the contribution
of PV to the national electricity demand. Parnters in this project are CBS
and SunData.
The SolFaSi project aims to develop PV forecasting at high time and spatial
resolutions using all-sky imagers (aka cloud cameras). We will install
three cameras at the UU campus and one at KNMI. This network allows to
construct a moving shadow field over the campus. This should be correlated
with the power generation of the 4000+ PV panels at campus buildings. We
require experience with (big) data analysis and simulation using Python.
We have funding for 24 months available.

If you are interested, or if you know someone who may be interested, please
send me a mail at w.g.j.h@uu.nl

best regards

Wilfried
