Data Evaluation and Analysis
Data Evaluation and Analysis
The SuperSTEM facility provides a number of high end data analysis computers with processing and simulation software, as well as a 10-node computer cluster for larger computational jobs. All users are encouraged to visit SuperSTEM at their convenience if they wish to use this equipment and software to process their data or to discuss their results with us!
For those users that wish to process their data upon their return to their home institutions a list with some of the many commercially or freely available data evaluation programs can be found on our Resources page The SuperSTEM staff will be happy to follow up and assist users with their data processing and evaluation!
If you have developed a processing method which you wish to share with the SuperSTEM user community or if you know of any other programs that would be useful to users please let us know and we will include it in our list!
Publications
Publications
We ask you kindly to let us know of any publication or scientific contribution that result from your experiments at SuperSTEM. This enables us to gather information on the impact of SuperSTEM and aides us in securing future funding.
SuperSTEM is funded by EPSRC and we therefore ask that both are acknowledged accordingly in any resulting publication. Your assigned SuperSTEM research scientist will discuss possible co-authorships with you.
We welcome your feedback and comments. The results of our User Survey 2014 are available. We aim high! Please feel free to talk to our staff or director to discuss any issue at any time. But should you wish to make a formal complaint this form is for you.
