UH HPC provides high-performance computing facilities to research staff and students at UH and to a community of collaborators nationally and internationally, including externally funded consortia such as LOFAR-UK and WEAVE. It aims to facilitate both medium-scale HPC requirements (with around 3,200 compute cores) and high-throughput data processing (with around 2 PB of attached fast storage). Applications include computational fluid dynamics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, 'big...

The 14CHRONO Centre analyses a wide variety of carbon containing samples using Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) 14C to provide radiocarbon ages or fractions of modern carbon. We also provide AMS 14C analyses for archaeological companies, forensic investigations and industries interested in monitoring bio- vs. fossil based components. We collaborate with researchers around the world to construct radiocarbon calibration curves to convert radiocarbon ages to 'calendar' ages. We also provide...

The UK High-Field Solid-State NMR Facility is based around a 20 Tesla wide-bore (89 mm) NMR magnet (corresponding to a 1H Larmor frequency of 850 MHz) equipped with a HFXY rf console and wide-range of probes: 14 for magic-angle spinning (MAS) for rotor diameters 0.7 mm (from 2018), 1.0 mm, 1.3 mm, 2.5 mm, 3.2 mm, 4 mm and 7 mm, a static probe and a double rotation (DOR) probe. Nearly all users visit the Facility in person to carry out experiments, with support provided by the Facility Manager...

The Children of the 1950s study (ACONF) is a population-based resource for researchers primarily studying the biological and social influences on health across the life-course and between generations. Comprising individuals born in Aberdeen, Scotland between 1950 and 1956, this cohort is based on the 12,150 people who took part in the Aberdeen Child Development Survey, a cross-sectional study in a population of all children who were attending an Aberdeen primary school in December 1962. The data...

The Aberystwyth Genetic Resources Unit comprises a collection of approximately 33,000 accessions of forage grasses, forage legumes, oats, grain legumes, energy grasses and amienity grasses. In addition it comprises a physical building (a new building is to be completed in June 2019 on the Aberystwyth Innovation & Enterprise Campus) for seed storage and seed processing; and a quarentine facility of glasshouses for containing recently collected accessions brought into the UK. The infrastructure...

The Ada Lovelace Centre (ALC) provides computing hardware, builds software, and provides computational and data analytics expertise that will spark a paradigm shift in the capability of scientists to design, analyse and interpret experiments at relevant research infrastructures such as Diamond Light Source, ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, Central Laser Facility and Culham Centre for Fusion Energy. The ALC exists to: • Build capacity in advanced software infrastructure for the handling...

Using new data sources and novel methodologies, the Scottish Centre for Administrative Data Research analyses public sector data and explores what linking it in new ways can reveal. 

Comprising of researchers from a range of leading institutions across Scotland, the centre itself is hosted within the University of Edinburgh and directed by Professor Chris Dibben. Our research uses administrative data to examine issues from across society in Scotland and the UK, providing evidence-based...

ADR Wales brings together world-renowned data science experts, leading academics and specialist teams within Welsh Government to produce evidence that shapes future policy decisions in Wales. ADR Wales is the focal point for data-related research in Wales and a major player in UK-wide efforts to transform research and policy environments. ADR Wales is a core element of the ESRC’s, via UKRI, ADR UK investment.

 ADR Wales unites specialists in their field from Swansea University Medical School...

The MQADP is a research platform and infrastructure to enable research to improve children and young peoples’ mental health, by pooling data from multiple sources: linking routinely collected data (health, deprivation, social care) with clinical interviews, psychological, biological and genetic data. This resource will continue to expand in terms of size, nations covered, and breadth and depth of data, with continued linkage, recruitment and additional measures planned and be available for...

The Advanced Bioimaging Research Technology Platform houses a JEOL 2100Plus with OneView Camera, a JEOL 2200FS with a K2 Detector, a 3i Dual Inverted Light Sheet microscope and a range of supporting equipment. We aim to help users from the University of Warwick and beyond to answer their research questions using our cutting-edge scientific imaging equipment. It is important that this equipment and the users are supported, both in terms of expertise of our staff and the resources for servicing...
