# Sydney Informatics Hub |
|
A Core Research Facility of The University of Sydney. |
|
|
|
We are: |
|
- ๐ฉโ๐ป Data scientists ๐จโ๐ป |
|
- ๐จโ๐ป Software engineers ๐ฉโ๐ป |
|
- ๐งฌ Bioinformaticians ๐งฌ |
|
- ๐ฅ๏ธ High performance computing experts โ๏ธ |
|
- ๐ค Machine learning engineers ๐ค |
|
|
|
And together we work towards - |
|
|
|
**Enabling excellence in data and compute intensive research** |
|
|
|
|
|
We provide support, training, and expertise in research data management, statistics, data science, software engineering, simulation, visualisation, bioinformatics, and research computing. |
|
|
|
We've: |
|
- Built an open source platform for annotated plant images to support the democratisation of visual AI in the agricultural industry ๐ฑ๐คโ๐งโ๐พโ |
|
- Developed state of the art open source visual AI models for detecting and identifying wildlife in camera trap images ๐ธโ๐ฆโ๐จ |
|
- Created reusable workflows for bioinformatics on Australia's national supercompute resources & commercial cloud ๐ฌโ๐งฌโ |
|
- Optimised code for simulating plate tectonics, to better understand how our Earth forms! ๐โ๐โ |
|
- Used machine learning models and echocardiogram data to improve cardiology diagnostics ๐ฉบโ๐ฉปโ๐ฉโ |
|
- Collaborated with the Australian Institute of Criminology to detect changepoints in organised criminal behabiour in response to changes in legislation ๐ฎโโ๏ธโ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธโ๐๏ธ |
|
- Modelled so many different soil attributes at high spatial resolution, so that farmers can make better decisions ๐ฐ๏ธ๐ฑโ๐จ๐ฟโ๐พ |
|
- Engineered a pipeline enabling radioastronomers to detect variables and slow transients using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder ๐กโ๐โ๐ |
|
|
|
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. |
