Title: An introduction to finite element modelling in FEniCS

Abstract: In this talk, I will present the FEniCS project (https://fenicsproject.org), an open-source toolkit for solving partial differential equations. The FEniCS Project is composed of several packages, written in either C++ or Python. I will delve into the structure of the project and its evolution over time. Specifically, I will explain our use of Python for generating C-code and how we interact with C++.

Bio: Jørgen Dokken is a Senior Research Software Engineer at Simula Research Laboratory, Oslo, Norway. His path into scientific software started during my PhD, where he used open-source software in Python. In particular, he used FEniCS, a finite element software for solving partial differential equations. His initial minor contributions to the source code and user forum gradually evolved into a more significant role as a core-developer, forum administrator and member of the FEniCS Steering Council. He has dedicated numerous hours to creating tutorials for FEniCS and associated packages.


At Don't Use This Code, want to create a unique opportunity to see Python succeed and thrive within the DOE. In collaboration with an organizing committee of Python users and advocates from various DOE sites, we host regular conversations on the topic of Python in order to create a new resource for scientists, researchers, and technical staff. Our goal is to share best practices and build a strong, lasting community for Python users within the Department of Energy National Lab system.
