Fall Research Computing Workshops
October 23, 2025
The University Research Computing Facility (URCF) is pleased to announce our Fall 2025 workshop series, which will run from November 11 - November 20.
These workshops will teach the fundamentals of research computing: how to use the command line, programming basics with Python, and how to access and use Picotte (Drexel’s high-performance computing cluster). They’re interactive, so you’ll practice these skills during the workshop using your own computer.
The intended audience is researchers, so the content and examples are chosen with research in mind, but all members of the Drexel community are welcome to attend.
All workshops will be conducted remotely using Zoom. Some require you to install and setup the relevant software on your computer beforehand. We’ll send setup instructions and Zoom links to the registered participants for each workshop beforehand.
To register and for more details, see: docs.urcf.drexel.edu/workshops.
Space is limited, and we do expect these workshops to fill quickly, so please register soon if you’re interested in attending.
All workshops are taught by James Porter, the URCF Research Computing Specialist. Please contact James at jjp366@drexel.edu with any questions.
