About Dimitri
I am a theoretical physicist with over ten years of research and teaching experience. I obtained my MPhys in Physics followed by a DPhil in Physics at the University of Sussex (focusing on cosmological applications of Superstring Theory), and this led onto postdoctoral research positions at the University of Nottingham, King's College London, Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich and the Tata Institute for Fundamental Research in Mumbai. Since October 2020 I am based at Worthing in West Sussex. Prizes: - **Roger Tayler Prize** (best MPhys performance) - **MPhys Thesis Prize** (best final year thesis) - **Excellence Prize** (highest performance of year 2 during MPhys)

Python has grown into one of the most widely used programming languages in the world, largely due to its efficient syntax and a huge range of available libraries. Being a trained theoretical physicist (DPhil) with over a decade of real-world research experience, I have written hundreds of Python programmes, with a focus on efficiency and robustness. In these lessons we will dive into the world of programming with Python. There is lots of flexibility, but broadly we might like to start from the ground-up: 1) We will first get everything set-up! We will download and install Python (if you haven't already), a text editor (such as VIM) or an IDE (VS Code). 2) After setup, we could begin with learning the basics of the Python syntax, writing our first mini programmes. 3) We then start our systematic deep dive into Python, covering the following material: - Functions and Variables - Conditionals - Loops - Exceptions - Libraries - Unit Tests - File I/O - Regular Expressions - Object-Oriented Programming 4) Once the basics are understood, we can then specialise further (quantitative analysis, scientific computing, data analysis, etc.), or we can embark on a project you are interested in! One session would last 1-2 hours, it would typically be virtual, via ZOOM (although I might also be able to accommodate in-person sessions as well). There will also be take-home exercises, if that would be desirable, to further reinforce and broaden the material that we cover.
