Discover how our Research Software Engineers worked with a marine shipping company to optimise solar energy usage for the maritime industry, aiding the sector's transition to Net Zero.

Two of our Research Software Engineers, in conjunction with the Department of Computer Science at the University, partnered with mindcubes to prototype a multi-modal semantic search system that links images to structured knowledge, delivering a scalable AI pipeline for smarter, concept-aware retrieval.

Get a quick introduction to containerisation with Docker from one of our Research Software Engineers (RSE). Docker packages apps and their dependencies and are an ideal way to solve the "works on my machine" problem. Learn about Docker's main perks: consistency, portability, isolation, and scalability and there are links to extra resources if you want to learn more.

To help researchers adopt modern software architectures and enable them to use the vast range of existing containerised tools, our Research Software Engineers have developed an interactive course which introduces the basics of container usage.

The Research Software Engineering (RSE) team has created a new online database to allow clinicians to track symptoms and treatments for patients with Alopecia Areata. This blog post discusses the technical decisions we made to guarantee the availability and security of patient data during the pilot phase of this project.

The Software Sustainability Institute’s Docker Containers for Reproducible Research Workshop brings together researchers, developers and educators to explore best practices when using containers and the future of research software with containers. The Docker Containers for Reproducible Research Workshop (C4RR) will take place on 27th - 28th June 2017 at Cambridge.
