The eResearch theme encompasses the full spectrum of computationally intensive and data-science focused research at UCL, and is coordinated through the UCL eResearch.

Research areas include, but are not limited to: digital-information systems and policymaking; human-computer interaction; software-systems engineering; astrophysics and remote sensing; climate change and earth observation; finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics; optimisation, data analysis and molecular dynamics; epidemiology; high-energy physics; organic and pharmaceutical materials simulation; earth-materials simulation; nanoscience and defects simulation; surface science and catalysis simulation; mathematical sciences; health and biomedical informatics; computational biology; medical imaging; molecular quantum dynamics and electronic structure; and neuroscience.

Through UCL Research IT Services, the eResearch community also informs planning of UCL’s capacity and capability in High Performance and Computing (HPC), data-intensive computing, research data storage and management services, and research software engineering.
