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.
