About the working group

How are coding agents changing scientific computing, and what could ASU-RSE do to help researchers adapt their work? Come join us for a discussion of the current landscape, experiences with these tools, and possible actions and continuing initiatives for ASU-RSE.

This group is not limited to serving dedicated software engineers: we are interested to work with any interested scientists applying agentic AI for software that aids or extends their research.

Resources

Explore our collection of research, perspectives, and practical resources on coding agents and research computing.
