The Sydney Informatics Hub is a Core Research Facility of The University of Sydney. We work towards enabling excellence in data and compute intensive research. We are:
- 👩💻 Data scientists and machine learning engineers 🤖
- 🧬 Bioinformaticians 🧬
- 🖥️ High performance computing experts ☁️
- 👨💻 Software engineers 👩💻
- ➗ Statisticians ✖️
We provide support, training, and expertise in statistics, data science, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, software engineering, simulation, visualisation, and research computing.
We've:
- Created reusable workflows for bioinformatics on Australia's national supercompute resources & commercial cloud, as an official node of Australian BioCommons 🔬 🧬
- Advised thousands of higher degree by research students on how to use statistics to best achieve their research objectives. ➗ ✖️
- Built an open-source platform for plant images in agricultural crops to support robotic weed-killing using AI 🌱🤖 🧑🌾
- Created text analysis tools for Digital Humanities researchers through the Australian Text Analytics Platform and the Language Data Commons of Australia
- Developed state-of-the-art open-source visual AI models for detecting and identifying native australian wildlife in camera trap images 📸 🦊 🐨
- Created a tool to collect geospatial data easily (demo app here), and then build spatio-temporal models on it so that farmers can make better decisions 🛰️🌱 👨🏿🌾
- Engineered a radio-astronomy pipeline to detect variable and slow transient light sources using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder 📡 🌞 🌌
- Optimised code for simulating plate tectonics, to better understand how our Earth forms! 🌏 🌋
- Used machine learning models and echocardiogram data to improve cardiology diagnostics 🩺 🩻 🏩
- Put up freely available Statistical resources and training materials 📚🏛️
