Schools, departments, institutes, and labs are all now eligible to join our University GitHub Enterprise account. You can keep your existing repositories, organisation, and GitHub account but you can now access enterprise-tier resources for free! Adrian Harwood, Head of Research Software Engineering, explains how.

Emma Simpson from the Research Software Engineering (RSE) team, hosted 3 college students as part of the in2science program introducing them to the role of Research Software Engineer as well as working within a STEM subject area and academia.

After a year working with Computer Science Year in Industry students we reflect on the experience and say our warm farewells to the three students.

Aman Goel, Research Software Engineer and Software Sustainability Institute Fellow, outlines plans for creating a research software community bringing together people involved with or interested in research software from across the University.

In May Adrian Harwood, Head of Research Software Engineering (RSE), posted the first part of his update on the latest improvements to the RSE department. In his second part he summarises the more external facing improvements delivered by the RSE Levelling-Up Programme.

Adrian Harwood, Head of Research Software Engineering (RSE), updates on the RSE department’s levelling-up journey as introduced last year. The RSE department has continued to grow in numbers as well as skills and experience and Adrian is excited to share with the community how it has developed so far and his expectations for the next 6 months.

With ever more data being produced, can we store it efficiently? Research Software Engineer (RSE), Oliver Woolland, has been supporting a team to develop Baler, a Machine Learning tool for compressing scientific and engineering data.

Find out more about how one of our experienced RSEs, Andrew Jerrison, has been providing extra capacity to the University eLab team, developing bespoke features for their software to enhance management of datasets and lab operations for an international customer.

Several of our Research Software Engineers are co-authors on a recent Nature Scientific Reports paper which found that people living in urban areas have worse hay fever symptoms than those living in the countryside.

Did you know that our pool of Research Software Engineers are not just available for long-term, big money projects? Even if you have very little funding or a very small amount of work for us to do, come and speak to us!

Dr Sarah MacQuarrie from the Institute of Education has developed a new way of disseminating and promoting student projects with a little help from our Research Software Engineers.

Adrian Harwood was appointed Head of Research Software Engineering (RSE) in Research IT in August. He has spent the last few months looking at how to take the RSE team to the next level in order to meet the growing needs of the research community here at the University.
