AI software learns, tracks and predicts cybersickness in virtual reality users

“It would take me a day to train one machine learning model [on my desktop], but I'd train something like 56 models in a day on Mahuika.”

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.”

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."
