In the Scientific Computing Group of MLZ Garching, we are a team of research software engineers with background in physics or computer science.
As explained in the context section, we are a service group for all neutron instruments of MLZ, regardless of operating institution. Our mission is the development and maintenance of software for data reduction and data analysis, the support of users, and scientific collaboration on advanced data analysis problems.
Since MLZ is not a legal entity, it cannot act as an employer. For the time being, all group members are employed by one and the same MLZ partner, Forschungszentrum Jülich.
For general enquiries, contact the group leader, Joachim Wuttke, at j.wuttke@fz-juelich.de.
For bug reports or support requests regarding specific projects, preferentially use the issue tracker on the project page at Jugit. External contributors read here how to log in.
