I am working on a PhD in Water Resources Engineering. My research deals with rivers in the winter - from modelling physical ice processes to predicting winter time flooding events to winter habitat and hydropower. I frequently work with ugly data files from field instruments - like water quality and meteorology sensors and survey data. This includes lots of irregular time series data. I do this mostly in R, as that is the common language used by the biologists I collaborate with. I also solve equations numerically in MatLAB - or-gasp! - excel. I am working on learning more Python. I believe the Software Carpentry approach works well for researchers, but also for practising engineers - who often need to use programming to wrangle data, solve equations, or find a solution but are not in the business of building applications. For both of these groups, good code, collaboration and reproducibility are very important.
