Dominic attended the World Climate Research Programme - Open Science Conference 2023 in Kigali, Rwanda in October 2023.
Alongside this, he helped deliver a one-day training workshop at the African Institute for Mathematics on software engineering good practice and programming in the context of climate science. Particularly, Dominic gave a session on using Using types to rule out bugs - Python vs Fortran perspective, giving an overview of concepts in verification and correctness, and giving practical examples of how to leverage type systems for correctness.
At the conference, Dominic gave a talk on Research Software Engineering for the New Generation of Climate Models giving an overview of the work of the Institute of Computing for Climate Science and a spotlight on some of the interesting challenges going forwards.
