Dr Knut Nordanger (SINTEF Community)09/06/2026, 10:50Lightning talk (10 min)
What happens when a three-person development team moves from being embedded in a domain research group to operating more as a dedicated RSE group within the same department? Four months ago, our group at SINTEF Community made exactly that shift while continuing to support the same applied research environment in the built environment sector. The domain, collaborators, and technical challenges...

In environmental chemistry, understanding of how chemicals move in the environment and end up in animals and humans is fundamental. For this purpose, we do field- and laboratory based research to measure chemical concentrations. But we also design, develop, and apply computer software which can simulate the journey a chemical makes on its way through air, water, and food webs. These models use...

Research software engineers entering academia from industry bring engineering practices shaped by production environments. How well these practices transfer to academic research — where constraints are not only technical but also regulatory and organizational — remains underexplored. In this lightning talk, I draw on my experience as an early-career RSE who transitioned from software...

Cross-disciplinary collaboration in academic institutions is frequently constrained by the difficulty of identifying relevant expertise across organizational and disciplinary boundaries. Without effective discovery mechanisms, potential collaborations remain unrealized, limiting the scope and impact of research and innovation. UniFlow is a software platform being developed by Simplera AS in...

In building multiple large geospatial pipelines, I got increasingly frustrated with the amount of bookwork that pollutes the scientific intent of the code. This is both due to spatial bookkeeping, aligning pixels, ensuring map projections match, etc., and for managing hardware resources: chunking data for memory puproses, CPU or GPU paths for extracting parallelism, etc.
To this end I've...

While many programming languages have improved their dependency handling to simplify collaboration, real software projects include multiple interacting components: backend, frontend, database, and worker services. Manually managing connection strings and database instances quickly becomes a significant bottleneck.
This talk explores how Aspire helps solve this issue. With Aspire, the entire...

Implementation of state-of-the-art Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) often requires a precarious balance between domain expertise and advanced programming skills. Google’s open-source library, Meridian, provides a robust Bayesian framework for media measurement, yet its reliance on complex Python workflows limits its accessibility to non-programming market analysts.

Achieving reproducibility in data science can be challenging, as it depends on software reproducibility as well as data reproducibility and ad-hoc parameters/variables. Nevertheless, good tools are being developed that help make it possible. Nix is a package manager that allows users to conveniently define, create, and work with system-level virtual environments within which one can execute...

Packaging Scientific Software is a broad topic and naturally depends a lot on the languages in use. RSEs work with a wide range from Fortran, Julia, C++ to Python and there wouldn't be "the one" solution that would fix all issues with distributing and consuming these packages. But I would like to use this discussion session to learn and discuss with other RSEs how they manage distribution of...

Reproducibility is the cornerstone of scientific progress, yet in machine learning research, it remains an elusive goal. Many senior researchers lack formal training in computational science, leaving the responsibility of code development to junior researchers, often resulting in unstructured, undocumented "code dumps”. In some subfields, the situation is even worse - code is not published at...

Machine learning (ML) has rapidly emerged as one of the most dominant and cross-disciplinary scientific fields of our time. Driven by its immense predictive power, it has achieved widespread public integration. Historically, algorithmic decision-making tools specialized in singular tasks, performing them without significant error and thereby earning societal trust. Today, the public...

Most quantities in the physical world are associated with a unit of measurement. Thus, keeping track of the units and dimensions of a quantity is an important part of scientific computing. Yet, enforcing type checking in computer code is still not a universal practice. This is partly due to limitations of the programming environments. Often, software packages exist which support basic...

In scientific computing, researchers routinely face a fundamental tension: computational performance versus ease of implementation. Python has become the dominant language across most scientific disciplines, and for good reason — its readable syntax, flexibility, and vast ecosystem make it an excellent tool for data manipulation, visualisation, and rapid prototyping. Its accessible GPU...

4. From For-Loop to Supercomputer: A Hands-On Introduction to Parallel Computing with OpenMP and MPIYoussef Wally (The Arctic University of Norway - UiT)10/06/2026, 13:50Tutorial (1h)
Most research code starts the same way: a for-loop over a dataset, processing one item at a time. This tutorial shows how to break that bottleneck; step by step, from a single CPU core all the way to a distributed HPC cluster.
Starting from a plain Python loop (SISD — Single Instruction, Single Data), we walk through Flynn's Taxonomy to build intuition about why parallelism works, then...
