IBED computational support team

IBED has a computational support team that provides state-of-the-art expertise in computational tools and the wealth of data that are fundamental to ongoing scientific research and education. We work in close collaboration with IBED researchers and students to transfer our specialized knowledge of bioinformatics, database management, scientific programming, machine learning, high performance computing and geodata management and processing.

Our website has information and guidelines about computational resources and expertise available to IBED students and staff.

More information and guidance documents

The Computational Support team currently has six dedicated members and is part of the Lab & Infrastructure unit that supports the four IBED departments.

For advice and support, contact us at compsup-ibed@uva.nl, or to find a team member with specific expertise, see our personal pages below.

For questions or problems pertaining to ICT facilities (i.e. issues with wifi, wired network, workstation, laptop, hardware, etc.) please contact UvA ICT Services.

We actively collaborate with SURF, the Faculty of Science specialist ICT support group (FEIOG) and the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS) to coordinate high-performance computing and dedicated, secure storage for unusually large datasets. We are linked to the institute’s GIS-Studio which assists students and staff with spatial data analysis and provides them with up-to-date fieldwork equipment. We also contribute to tools and facilities developed by IBED departments.
