Course overview
This is an elective course in the Graduate Certificate in Research Skills and Master of Research programs intended to provide an introduction to the use of advanced computational and modelling techniques in a variety of research disciplines. The course will introduce methods for analysing very large data sets using artificial intelligence and high performance computation. Some key data repositories accessible to researchers in different disciplines will be identified. Methods of accessing HPC and data resources will be discussed.
- Introduction and Data
