Give me Security, Give me Hope

A journey of discovering a desire to be a research software engineer, finding a niche, and then fighting to keep it.

In this episode of RSE Stories, we talk with Alex Koufos, a fellow Stanford Research
Engineer that is passionate about simulations, robotics, and computational physics.
Alex knew what he was looking for in terms of a research role, and then struggled to
find it when he first graduated. When he finally found his perfect niche, the recent events of 2020
have made it a fight to again find security. Is there hope?
On RSE Stories we interview a lot of successful groups and individuals, but we need
to remember that this is not the reality for so many of us as research software engineers.
Why is it so hard, and how can we do better?
