Mr Luke Nguyen-Hoan

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Computer Science, commenced in February 2008. My research area is in software-intensive systems engineering, and is focused on finding ways of improving the development of software for scientific purposes, potentially by the application of existing knowledge in the software engineering field. I am currently collaborating with ecological scientists from the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the ANU and the Department of Biology, Ecole Normale Superieure in France on a project to develop an ecological simulations software platform.

Current Work

Survey of Practices in Scientific Software Development

This project has been designed to examine the current development practices in use by scientific software developers. More specifically, this survey will investigate what kinds of practices which are well-known in the software engineering area are currently in use in scientific software development and why these practices have been adopted.
