Research support team

The team's remit is to provide support and advice to researchers using the University IT systems within their research and is funded from resources provided by a number of contributing Schools.

If you are involved in the preparation of a bid for research funds, the Research Computing team are available to help in discussing objectives and recommending customized computing solutions with regards to possible machine specifications and data storage requirements. They can facilitate price quotations from suppliers and vendors.

The team are also responsible for supporting High Performance Computing (HPC) within the University. The University's HPC provides a core set of facilities that we expect to be enhanced through research grants and other systems purchased by Schools.
