Reduce technical debt in scientific software development using reproducible containers.

Tanu focuses on the use and practice of reproducible containers to reduce technical debt in scientific software. Scientists often have to choose between pursuing a fast-paced research agenda and developing organized, sufficiently-documented, and reproducible systems. Her work will seek for novel techniques, frameworks, and community input for reducing technical debt. She plans to highlight the use of reproducible containers as examples of reducing technical debt and solicit robust, practical and reproducible ideas.
