  • Chemistry
    The Chemistry & Materials programme brings together STFC’s expertise in atomistic and mesoscale modelling with IBM’s AI technologies to transform chemical and materials product design.
  • Enabling technologies
    Underpinning IROR is a technology development programme, delivering cutting edge machine learning at scale, exploring new data technologies, and building a platform to allow our industry collaborators to exploit our digital assets in their businesses.
  • Engineering & Manufacturing
    We are developing software tools and methods using high fidelity modelling, simulation and optimisation to create `virtual products’, improving product performance, reducing development costs and time-to-market.
  • Life sciences
    Advances in molecular simulation and high-throughput sequencing have created a deluge of biological data. We are harnessing this to develop new data-driven approaches to molecular design and metagenomics analysis.
