Hi there, I'm Jo Bovy 👋

I'm an 🔭 astrophysicist 🔭 at the 🎓 University of Toronto 🎓 working on understanding 🌌 galaxy formation 🌌 and ⚛️ dark matter ⚛️ and on making astrophysics more accessible, robust, and reproducible by developing open-source, well-documented, and well-tested software packages for use in astrophysics and beyond.

🔭 Some astronomy and data analysis Python packages that I develop:
- galpy: a Python library for galactic dynamics
- wendy: A one-dimensional gravitational N-body code
- kimmy: a Python package for galactic chemical evolution (also available in javascript form!)
- apogee: Tools for dealing with APOGEE data
- gaia_tools: Tools for working with the @ESAGaia data and related data sets
- mwdust: Tools for dealing with dust extinction in the Milky Way
- extreme deconvolution: Density estimation using Gaussian mixtures in the presence of noisy, heterogeneous and incomplete data
👨‍🏫 Some online courses that I am working on:
- Dynamics and Astrophysics of Galaxies: An interactive, online graduate textbook on the astrophysics of galaxies
- Python code packaging for scientific software: Notes on how to develop a Python package with documentation, tests, etc. (materials for a course based on this available here)
