The Research Computing Platforms team are responsible for maintaining the research computing platforms, such as the high performance computing and research data store, and for providing support to users in using these platforms.

The team draws together a wide range of research backgrounds (e.g. chemistry, biochemistry, engineering and physics) and research computing support experience (Kings, Oxford, Southampton, Warwick and UCL in addition to Imperial). This diversity of experience informs our provision of a responsive, relevant and high quality service to our researchers.
