The Australian Synchrotron enables the rapid translation of ideas, greatly empowering Australian and New Zealand researchers with highly-detailed data sets faster than a conventional laboratory.
But what is a synchrotron and how do our experts translate its torrents of data into improvements in the way we work, eat and live?
Come along and gain insight into this landmark research facility, learn how supercomputing is enabling researchers to produce, analyse and interpret phenomenal amounts of data to innovate and solve problems ranging from new treatments for disease including cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, to supporting more environmentally friendly approaches to mining and helping farmers grow more sustainable crops.
Hear from experts, Professor Andrew Peele, Director, and Dr Andreas Moll, Senior Scientific Software Engineer, who will explain how the Australian Synchrotron supports big research ideas to generate real life benefits.
