Compressed sensing is an area of mathematics increasingly being applied in magnetic resonance imaging. MRI imagery is highly sparse and noisy making it an appropriate application to use these techniques. Compressed sensing complements existing techniques such as JPEG compression in computationally intensive applications such as MRI image processing to reduce acquisition time, in AI training time and can be used to build more robust systems with greater resilience to noise.

The development of a satellite attitude and orbit control subsystem (AOCS) imposes challenges since the dynamics cannot be reproduced on the ground. The entire process relies on simulation. We developed a novel workflow that improved productivity by using the outstanding adaptability of the Julia language and its ecosystem. We could adapt a validated simulator to test and verify all the AOCS algorithms at each development phase, drastically reducing error propagation and, consequently, test cost

Design patterns offer general solutions to common problems and it is standard practice to include them in software development. On the other hand, Anti-Pattern is a complement to Design patterns. While design patterns focus on how to do things by following best practices, Anti-patterns focus on how not to do things. In this talk, I will speak about anti-patterns in Julia and their worst practices. The talk follows the problem-solution approach.
