Title: UQ RCC’s Digital Research Infrastructure to enable discovery
Abstract: The University of Queensland Research Computing Centre (RCC) enables researchers from all domains with cutting edge Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI). In this talk, we explain the core capabilities of the centre, the next generation infrastructures supporting research and some key platforms that are of significant interest to QBI researchers. We will explore the support and consultative capabilities, provide real world exemplars of the science enabled in the research institutes, schools and faculties because of the RCC’s engagement and explain how every researcher can make best use of the centre’s significant infrastructures.
Bio: Jake Carroll is the Director of The University of Queensland Research Computing Centre. Over his 20 year career he has helped shape the local, state and national agenda on eResearch infrastructure, empowering the sector and supporting some of the most vibrant scientific discovery efforts in our nation. Jake leads an innovation-geared team of dedicated and focused people, passionate and motivated by value-co-creation with their clients. Jake is an elected member of the International Storage Board Industry Advisory Council and is a UQ Business School MBA Alumnus. He’s currently occupying his copious spare time as a UQ Electronic Engineering and Computer Science Doctoral Candidate.

Fun fact: Jake started out his research computing career in QBI, after realising early on that generic enterprise and corporate Information Technology was not the career he wanted.
About Neuroscience Seminars
Neuroscience seminars at the QBI play a major role in the advancement of neuroscience in the Asia-Pacific region. The primary goal of these seminars is to promote excellence in neuroscience through the exchange of ideas, establishing new collaborations and augmenting partnerships already in place.
Seminars in the QBI Auditorium on Level 7 are held on Wednesdays at 12-1pm, which are sometimes simulcast on Zoom (with approval from the speaker). We also occassionally hold seminars from international speakers via Zoom. The days and times of these seminars will vary depending on the time zone of the speaker.
