 PostPic is a open-source post processor for Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations written in python.  If you are doing PIC Simulations (likely for you PhD in physics...) you need tools to provide proper post-processing to create nice graphics from many GB of raw simulation output data -- regardless of what simulation code you are using.
