3D genome modelling for complex diseases

“Analysing this type of data is very computationally heavy. Last week I analysed seven new data sets in two days. Now we have additional 3D structured genome data sets from different tissues and cell types. It is amazing.”

Automatic detection of slow slip earthquake events

"I wouldn’t have been able to conduct such large-scale simulations without the help of NeSI support."

Using 3D models to improve health outcomes

"We could not have undertaken work of this complexity and scale without support from the NeSI Consultancy team."

Predicting patterns among kaimoana species

"I wouldn’t have been able to operate at the scale I am now without NeSI's help."

Modern mapping that detects and monitors landscape changes

“To compare and process these images, we need a large amount of processing power and memory."

Helping policy-makers understand scenarios and interventions to prevent COVID-19 spread

"Beyond the tangible performance improvements, NeSI have helped us improve our workflow and tooling, and have been an amazing source of feedback for large-scale scientific software development and deployment. "

Next-gen geothermal modelling for a cheap green energy future

“Use of NeSI was central to our software development. We don’t know how big models will get in the future, so we wanted to make this as scalable as possible."

A multi-disciplinary approach to mild traumatic brain injury

"Our goal is to create a piece of software that is capable of automatically analysing hundreds of thousands of pupil-tracked coordinates. This would allow a clinician to interpret the results and guide clinical decision making in real-world practice."

Modelling wind for Fiji’s green future

"We needed high-performance computing to run model simulations for a decade-long at this resolution, so NeSI has been vital in that respect."

Improving research approaches to predicting sea level rise

"The number of tests that were conducted in this Consultancy would not be possible to run by me in such a short time period."
