UQ and IBM launch Centre of Excellence to progress data research
|
|
|
The University of Queensland has partnered with IBM Australia to launch a Centre of Excellence which will support researchers working across health, manufacturing and environmental sciences.
|
|
The IBM@UQ Centre of Excellence will help address the challenges associated with extreme data growth, data organisation and data storage.
IBM recently provided a number of novel data storage and computer hardware platforms for experimentation and evaluation within RCC.
This partnership is expected to accelerate research being conducted within UQ and provide valuable support to researchers.

Baris, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow within UQ’s Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN), uses Tinaroo to run parallel molecular dynamics simulations to understand solid polymer electrolytes.
“Firstly, Tinaroo helped me save time as the queuing time is relatively short. Secondly, I could run many long simulations to fully grasp the dynamics of solid polymer electrolytes,” said Baris.
