Advanced data analysis in science (numerical techniques for data to insight)
From 29.74 $ /h
This course focuses on developing practical and conceptual skills for advanced data analysis in scientific research. Students will work primarily in Python, though the use of other programming environments is welcome.
The emphasis will be on understanding data at a deeper level: moving beyond routine processing to extracting meaningful physical and scientific insights. Core numerical techniques will be introduced and applied, including differentiation, integration, curve fitting, and frequency-domain analysis.
Structured test cases will be provided, and students will learn to approach them systematically, from data preprocessing to interpretation of results. In addition, open-source datasets will be used to explore real-world trends and to assess the effectiveness of different analytical approaches.
The course encourages active discussion, critical thinking, and comparison of methods, with an open forum for exploring numerical techniques and their appropriate application across scientific problems.

About Me
Hello,
I am a scientist by profession and interested in solving complex problems to understand nature. About my background, I am a doctorate in Science (Physical chemistry) with extensive knowledge in physics, chemistry, mathematics and computer programming.
Framing a technical problem into computer program is my expertise.
I have worked with several institutes offering high-performance compute facilities for scientific purposes, and can program in python, igorpro, labview, C++, bash shell and FORTRAN. I follow standard software design principles, detailed documentation, automated tests and git for version control.
Apart from scientific exploration, I use python with bash for image analysis and editing, automation, web-programming and associated technologies.

Python is now being used for basic to advanced operations in academic and industrial workspace. In combination with unix and/or windows OS and other programming languages python can be extensively used for automation, data acquisition and post processing.
I teach python from a beginners to advanced level depending on the requirements of the student. No prerequisite for computer programming is required to start. A long term training plan can be established to develop all round computer programming skills with software engineering abilities.
Teaching technique : Digital board for concept delivery, active programming training with real world problems. Help in setting up programming environments and git.
Homework : Task of about 10 minutes after every class to be done privately. Review of homework during the next class.
