Research Computing Case Studies
Building a ML model for climate change prediction
A project that made use of the HPC systems for building a Machine Learning (ML) model for predicting the benefits of reducing air pollution over regions of China.
Constraining uncertainty in modelling of the North American ice sheet
This project used a fast-running model to simulate hundreds of past ice sheet scenarios, revealing how ice sheet reflectivity affects predictions and highlighting challenges in modelling different ice sheets accurately.
Dynamic recalibration of a disease spread model
This project used Approximate Bayesian Computation to dynamically recalibrate a COVID-19 disease spread model with real-world data, greatly improving infection rate forecasts.
MESMER XML GUI (MXG) Development
A project that developed a new Graphical User Interface for the specialist chemistry research software MESMER.
Using HPC to expose factors contributing to ice mass loss in Antarctica
A project that made use of the HPC systems for large-scale image processing of satellite data.
Using Microsimulation techniques to forecast future police demand
A project that developed an implementation of microsimulation techniques to forecast future police demand.
