Overall Research Project Description | pyReSpect is a popular python program to infer the relaxation spectrum from viscoelastic data. Currently it only has a command line interface (CLI), which limits its appeal to experimentalists who prefer interacting via a graphical user interface (GUI). The goal of this project is to design and develop a GUI using python libraries (Tkinter or Qt), and to generate standalone executable/binary files for distribution across different platforms (Windows, Mac, and Linux). |
Research Tasks | - Read tutorials and watch videos on building GUIs in python - whiteboard a potential GUI, and identify the graphical elements (buttons, file upload, visualize graphs, etc.) - develop python code to implement the GUI |
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: | - ability to code in python (required) - aesthetic/design sense (recommended) |
Mentoring Philosophy | The ideal undergraduate research project (i) helps the student learn some valuable new technique/skill that they can add to their toolkit, (ii) has a clear "finish" criterion that is achieveable within the available time-frame, (iii) helps the researcher solve a problem they care about, and (iv) if possible helps the community at large. I think this project has all these elements. Over time, I've found that mentoring is a calibration exercise, and different strategies work with different projects/students. For this project, I am looking for a student who can take charge. They will be able to watch a Youtube video, adapt and implement it for the project, and discuss options/impediments with the mentor as they arise. |
