Powering novel approaches to modelling earthquake behaviours

"Not only does the simulation work complete quickly now, but I’ve learnt a lot about the HPCs and sophisticated computational tools which will be necessary for future developments."

Scaling up the analysis of simulations on nanowire stability

"This has helped me to scale up my research capabilities not only with this work, but also with future endeavours too."
