Dear All,

It's so nice to join this list.  I am Yung-Yu Chen, a numerical analyst in Taiwan and the chairperson of PyConTW.  You can reach me at http://www.linkedin.com/in/yungyuchttps://www.facebook.com/yungyuc, and @yungyuc.  In PyConJP last month, I had the privilege to witness the emerging of Science with Python, and got connected with @_likr (Yosuke Onoue), @shima__shima (Toshihiro Kamishima), @nakayoshix (Yoshiyuki Nakamura) and many others.  It's great to know so many researchers using Python in Japan.

My background was in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with high-speed flow, but at the mean time I am working on computational lithography in semiconductor industries.  While working in a distant industry, I am still spending significant time on my own research on time-accurate calculations of conservation laws.  My recent interests include renovating the Python/C wrapping facilities in my code, fundamental study of higher-order schemes, supersonic flows, and stress waves in complex media.

I have been using Python for work/research since 2005.  While using numpy/scipy/matplotlib for many analysis tasks, I mainly use Python to scaffold my HPC code in C (or CUDA for fun).  I am also using VTK for in situ visualization.

Coding with Python is always a pleasure.  Hopefully soon we will see Python going into mainstream no only in Japan, but also in our beloved East Asia.

with regards,
Yung-Yu Chen

Dear Dr. Chen,

Thank you sending your self-introduction to us.
I am Hirofumi Watanabe, Twitter ID @HW_a_pythonista, My research area is in silico drug design and my background is cheminformatics, computational physics and chemistry.
I know computational fluid dynamics is very difficult area especially the system with turbulence because Navier-Stokes equation is nonlinear. 
CFD and its visualization are important area of Science with Python.  So we will be happy if  you give us some contribute in this area.
I also hope Python will become main stream in Scientific computation in Taiwan, Japan, east Asia and all over the world.
In addition, I hope researchers in Taiwan and Japan become closer friends through activities of Science with Python .
Regards,
