In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of scientific computing with Mark Kittisopikul, who has a background in computational biology. He shares insight into his career journey. And the critical role of scientific computing and modern research. Scientific computing involves leveraging computers to analyze interpret experimental data, bridging the gap between theoretical models and real world outcomes. Despite his non-computer science background, Mark helps his colleagues in biology. And other fields with computational tasks emphasizing the importance of data interpretation. He takes us through his journey, experimenting with various programming languages before discovering Julia. Which he now prefers for sufficiency in ease of use, especially in scientific applications.



Mark illustrates the benefits of Julia with the specific challenge he faced managing data from 10 cameras in a very specific microscope. Showcasing how Julia provided the solution by being able to parse gigabytes of data per second. We also explored the vibrant community around Julia and the upcoming JuliaCon conference highlighting the inclusive nature of the community and the opportunities for calibration and growth. So join us as we uncover the pivotal role of scientific computing in modern research and the advantages of using Julia for computational tasks in biology and beyond.
