Specialist services of Research Software Engineers (RSEs) ensure that whenever a new project starts we have the resources and expertise needed to ensure its success and it’s longer term sustainability. Individual RSEs within this group may be working on multiple, small, short-term projects or on one large, resource-hungry, project.

Our software engineers have the training and tools required to accelerate research or meet infrastructure demands as they arise.
