Radio astronomy software stack (Jeff Wagg)
Highlights from post-presentation discussion
- The field faces significant challenges in retaining skilled professionals, particularly those with operational expertise, as most individuals stay only 3–5 years. Long-term continuity is difficult, compounded by funding models that often rely on grants. There is a need for professionals who can bridge gaps between astronomers, software developers, and computing experts.
- Addressing expertise gaps, especially in optimisation, involves hiring a mix of internal and external personnel, including partnerships with private companies (we need to keep this in mind for writing SRIDA). The focus is on making computing jobs more appealing to young talent by highlighting their value and opportunities beyond traditional academic outputs.
