NCI supports some of the world’s most ambitious and successful astronomy research. From international experimental collaborations to ambitious theoretical modelling, Australian astronomy projects have a breadth and depth requiring robust and reliable research infrastructure. Requirements include...

Understanding the fundamentals of the natural systems around us is the key motivation for the biology research taking place at NCI. Researchers are conducting exciting, forward looking investigations into plant biology and agricultural methods, ecological systems, and the fundamentals of molecular...

Research into the properties and structures of chemical elements has been a mainstay of high-performance computing for decades. The community’s expertise in molecular modelling enables researchers to accurately model the behaviour of hundreds of interacting atoms within human proteins, industrial...

Engineering research at NCI is focused in the areas of aerodynamics and fluid flow. Based largely on numerical simulations running at large scales on NCI’s supercomputer, researchers are investigating both fundamental and applied aspects of fluid flow and how they relate to vehicles, engines, energy...

Earth and environmental science research has long been a cornerstone of NCI’s user base. Through integrated high-performance computing and data, NCI is a central hub for many of the weather, climate, earth-observation and geoscience activities of the Australian research community and national...
