Most ECRs do not receive any formal training in critical software engineering skills. The ASA (Astronomical Society of Australia) collaborated with ADACS to run an intensive workshop to address this knowledge gap.
ADACS developed four short courses for the 2022 HWSA (Harley Wood School for Astronomy) that focused on developing skills for computing and careers, while the dark matter theme was covered off by astronomy experts.
A four-part ML (machine learning) workshop consisting of a lecture on the history of ML and it's applications in astronomy research and three deep-dive sessions to apply ML techniques to astronomy data sets.
