Development Team
Whether developing software, consulting with enterprise users, contributing to open source projects, or instructing students, Enthought developers are widely regarded as the experts in scientific computing with Python.
Bryce Hendrix
Bryce earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering from the University of Arizona. He has experience in fault tolerant distributed computing, data warehousing, circuit simulation and all things Python.
Eric Jones
Eric has a broad background in engineering and software development and leads Enthought's product engineering and software design. Prior to co-founding Enthought, Eric worked in the fields of numerical electromagnetics and genetic optimization in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Duke University. He has taught numerous courses about Python and how to use it for scientific computing. He also serves as a member of the Python Software Foundation. Eric holds M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Duke University in Electrical Engineering and a B.S.E. in Mechanical Engineering from Baylor University.
Robert Kern
Robert majored in geophysics at Caltech. He is major contributor to a variety of open source initiatives including NumPy, SciPy, grin, and line_profiler.
Jason McCampbell
Jason has 15+ years of software engineering experience, much of it building design automation tools for the semiconductor industry. He has worked with developer teams at numerous startups, with roles including product architect and R&D manager. Jason has expertise in circuit analysis and distributed/parallel system architecture. He holds a B.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan and MBA from Arizona State University.
Travis Oliphant
Travis has worked extensively with Python for numerical and scientific programming since 1997. He was the primary developer of the NumPy package and the author of the definitive Guide to NumPy. He was an early contributor to the documentation for the Numeric package and in 1999 released Multipack for Python. In 2001, he folded Multipack into SciPy as one of the original co-authors of that package. He holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from Brigham Young University in Math and Electrical Engineering, and he received a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the Mayo Clinic in 2001. From December 2000 to August 2007 he worked as an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Brigham Young University where he also directed the Biomedical Imaging Lab and taught courses in inverse problems, signal processing, probability theory, and electromagnetics.
Ilan Schnell
After earning his Ph.D. in Theoretical Solid State Physics from the University of Bremen, Germany, Ilan held positions as a postdoctoral research assistant at Los Alamos National Laboratory and Georgetown University. Ilan's scientific programming experience includes writing a program suite for first-principle band structure calculations for solids. At Enthought, Ilan is one of the key developers of the Enthought Python Distribution and works tirelessly configuring various Python libraries to run smoothly on multiple platforms. He is the author of the bitarray package.
Scott Swarts
Scott earned his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from MIT. With over 20 years of scientific computing experience, Scott has expertise in circuit simulation, video and image processing, fault-tolerant distributed systems and military simulation.
Corran Webster
Corran obtained his B.S. from the University of New South Wales and his Ph.D. in pure mathematics from UCLA. He has held teaching positions at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas as well as Texas A & M. His academic areas of concentration included functional analysis and operator algebras. As Chief Scientist at Compudigm International, Corran worked on enterprise data visualization and redictive modeling using self-organizing maps. Corran has been programming in Python since 1995, when he was a teaching assistant in UCLA's Program in Computing courses.
Peter Wang
Applying his extensive experience in software engineering and development, Peter Wang directs the overall architectural design of our frameworks and tools. He holds a B.S. in Physics from Cornell University. Peter has contributed substantially to the open-source Enthought Tool Suite, notably as the author and maintainer of Chaco, a 2D plotting library.
Warren Weckesser
Warren received his M.Eng. in Computer and Systems Engineering and Ph.D. in Mathematics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He held assistant professorships at the University of Michigan, Colgate University, and the University of Sydney for a cumulative eight years. His specialties include mathematical modeling, dynamical systems, multiple time scale systems, and perturbation methods.
