Our team provides expert consultation for IT challenges, from data processing workflows to infrastructure optimization. We work closely with researchers to develop practical, customized solutions.
Services offered:
-
Consultation on Data Processing and Storage: Guidance for handling, processing, and storing large datasets efficiently.
-
HPC Consultation: Advice on using high-performance computing resources effectively for simulations and analyses.
-
Infrastructure Design and Optimization: Support for setting up and maintaining IT environments tailored to specific research needs.
-
Research Collaboration Support: Consultation on pilot projects requiring advanced IT infrastructure and data workflows.
-
Data Processing Guidance: Expert input on optimizing workflows for large-scale computational tasks.
-
IT Procurement Assistance: Strategic advice on acquiring and integrating specialized IT equipment or software.
-
AI/ML consultation: Advice on when and how to use AI/ML approaches in specific research projects. Minor tasks or consultations requiring up to 40 hours of work are continuously provided free of charge.
-
Project collaborations on AI/ML and HPC: We collaborate in pilot projects of up to 6 months duration (part-time) to help research groups acquiring the necessary technical and conceptual knowledge to independently continue the research. There are no user-fees associated with a pilot project and calls for such projects are typically published biannually. An extension of a collaboration is possible if the participation of the Digital Research Engineers is fully funded by the research project. An overview of some previous projects is linked below.
-
Visualization: We also participate in the national visualization infrastructure InfraVis through which you can get support in visualization-related questions.
