Meet Ben Parkes from the Department of Civil Engineering and Management, one of the leads of the Green Compute for Research @UoM group. He explains how he got involved in the group and what the group hopes to achieve.

Head of Research Software Engineering (RSE) Adrian Harwood shares his thoughts on the shape of RSE services in the age of vibe coding.

An upgrade of the Dalton Nuclear Simulator by the Research Software Engineering team brought new life to a legacy educational platform used to explore nuclear reactor operations through interactive gameplay. Discover how our team strengthened a valuable tool for teaching, research, and scientific engagement.

The statistical software Stata (version 19.5) is now available to students and staff in the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health (FBMH). Find out how to get access!

Members of our Platforms Team recently headed to Durham HPC Days 2026 for a programme covering everything from green computing and EDI to national compute strategy, AI training and interactive HPC. Discover what insights they brought back.

Discover how the High Energy Physics group, with Research IT help, have been addressing recent critical Linux security vulnerabilities affecting the ‘grid’ compute systems in particular.

Our Research Software Engineers (RSEs) worked with Dr Réka Solymosi from the School of Social Sciences to build a mobile app that helps women record where, when and why they felt unsafe during their runs – making a complex data gathering requirement possible in the form of a practical, usable product.

The CaDiR community hosted a combined C++ User Group meeting and AI-assisted coding forum in April 2026 at the University. The event featured expert talks, panel discussions, and a guest lecture, fostering technical and ethical conversations on software development and AI tools.

Researchers from across the UK came to Manchester in April for an ARCHER2 and Research IT course on intermediate research software development. Through hands-on exercises and flexible materials, they gained practical skills to write better, more sustainable code.

The Research IT Platforms team recently completed the deployment of Nvidia H200 servers within the University’s flagship high performance compute resource – the Computational Shared Facility.

Meet Stavrina Dimosthenous who is one of the leads from the Manchester Research Software Community (MRSC). The group brings together people involved with or interested in research software - either your own code, open source or commercial!

Catch up on the presentations from the recent UoM UK Biobank Users meeting which focused on new research from across the University and updates from UK Biobank.
