TW presents:
Developing software for world’s largest optical telescope - Thirty Meter Telescope
with Poorva Gokhale, Pritam Kadam
E4R#2

ABOUT THE TALK

The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), slated to be the world’s largest ground-based telescope operating at optical and infrared wavelengths, is an international Big Science project with participation from institutions from the United States, Canada, China, Japan and India.

About 70 per cent of Indian contribution will be in the form of both hardware and software for the telescope. Thoughtworkers from Pune, India are engaged in developing observatory software as well as telescope control system.

Join us for session 2 of our 8-part “lunch & learn” series, to know more about this team's amazing journey.

ABOUT THE SERIES

TW presents: Engineering For Research (e4r™)

The scientific community, today, is working amidst a rising data deluge, an increasing relevance of ‘complexity of systems’ and the fading of Moore’s Law. These trends form the background for the 14th Engineering Grand Challenge posed by the US National Academy of Engineering. This grand challenge is a call for the entire humanity to build engineering tools for scientific discovery over this 21st century. ThoughtWorks Engineering for Research (e4r™) initiative is our response to this challenge. The initiative intends to nurture a long-term and in depth engagement with the scientific community. e4r™ is committed to advance research in the fields of radio and optical astronomy, genomics, molecular dynamics and urban sciences.
