Der Bioinformatiker » Work http://der.bioinformatiker.at Weblog of an Austrian (bioinformatics) geek Tue, 01 Dec 2009 07:35:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 en hourly 1 Bioinformatics/Work news http://der.bioinformatiker.at/2008/04/09/bioinformaticswork-news/ http://der.bioinformatiker.at/2008/04/09/bioinformaticswork-news/#comments Wed, 09 Apr 2008 08:59:38 +0000 Hannes http://der.bioinformatiker.at/?p=133 So now the work-related news:

I currently work at the R&D Department of my Alma Mater, the University of Applied Sciences in Hagenberg, Austria. The project I’m workting on is not bioinformatics-related but very interesting. I got to work a lot with Python and wxPython as well as some insight into hardware development. Some possibly interesting ideas for bioinformatics may come out of this later; I have to find someone who would need it and finance it, however. :)

The project is planned to be finished by October, we will see what I will work on from then.

I also started working in the education part of the university. Last year, I was project coach, and this year I changed to being tutor for the Linux-For-Beginners course for bioinformatics and one half of the software engineers. Unfortunately, I may only work for 4 hours per week on education besides the research, so the other half of SE has to be taken over by someone else.

I find it very interesting to work with students. I hope there will be more opportunities in the future for that!

I work at the F&E in Hagenberg on a new Project. It has nothing to do with bioinformatics, but more with hardware development; It is very interesting, and I’m looking forward to this challenge.

I will write more about it once the project page is online.

It has been approved by my tutor, so I will print it tomorrow and hand it in soon afterwards. The exam will be on July 19th or 20th.

I’m home! After about 5 hours of driving – passing some nice places…
AKW
…and nearly no traffic jams I finally reached Linz again. I’m glad it’s all done now. All I have to do now is to finish writing my thesis paper…

Tomorrow I will be driving home from Heidelberg to Linz, I can’t wait to be back close to Elke again. The only drawback of this whole situation is that my diploma thesis is not yet finished, so I will have to dedicate all my time now to writing.

I’m free! No more working from 09:00 to 19:00 with only 30 minutes lunch break! No more slavery!

Well, to be honest, it wasn’t that bad… exhausting, but very interesting work. I am a bit proud of my achievements here…
EMBL logo EMBL Heidelberg – I will miss it (at least a tiny bit)

oh – I nearly forgot… the speed tests I mentioned earlier (see Blog Update) showed that a speed up factor (compared to a single CPU) of 50 to 70 times was not unusual…
