In 2017, LIDA hosted 14 seminars on topics such as crime analytics, Big Data and ethics, the role of mathematics and statistics in data analytics, and global transport datasets. Each seminar was a similar format, starting with two short presentations showcasing LIDA projects, followed by a main speaker. We were pleased to welcome a number...
As part of LIDA’s 2017 seminar series, Dr Mark Padgham was invited to deliver a presentation on “Globally scalable software for sustainable transport”. Open source software and increasingly open access datasets have made digital tools for transport planning available to more people than ever before. However, many of the available products are limited by the...

The ARC team provide and support a comprehensive Advanced Research Computing (ARC) support service for researchers in all faculties at the University of Leeds. The service consists of a large High Performance Computing (HPC or Supercomputing) resource consisting of several clusters which are used for all forms of predictive modelling, data analysis and simulation which...
Over the last decade there has been exponential growth in the use of large-scale technologies as a tool to understand a wide range of phenomena in the Biological and Medical Sciences. These technologies include (but are not limited to) genomics, transcriptomics, translatomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics and they are used by scientists in very diverse...
