Hello, My name is Dhruv Vats, and I'm in the final year of my engineering studies, majoring in Electronics and Communications. While browsing the GSoC ideas page of SciPy, I came across this <https://github.com/scipy/scipy/wiki/GSoC-2021-project-ideas#object-oriented-...> project, which, from what I checked, went unallocated this year. The project lists Digital Signal Processing as a requirement, and while my coursework (DSP, Communications Systems, Control Theory, etc.) has given me a decent familiarity with the subject, I further got to use its concepts during my GSoC project this year <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#5521109757198336>, which involved investigating, implementing and integrating the DPSS multitaper periodogram into Stingray <https://github.com/StingraySoftware/stingray>, using scipy.signal at its core. Therefore, if the context is correct, I would like to request permission to work on this and would love the opportunity to further discuss the project, such as, - What the first steps should be? - What parts of code should I start looking at? - How can it be divided into smaller, more manageable tasks? - What the result could look like? (A brief description is provided on the ideas page.) And most importantly, - How do *you* guys see this coming together? This is my first time posting to the mailing list, so hoping it wasn't too blunt. Humble regards, Dhruv Vats
