Case studies

As we complete work with projects, we will write up each project as a case study. The case studies are short, focussed on achievements and easily the best way in which to see the kind of work that we do - and how we could work with your project. If you would like to discuss working with the Software Sustainability Institute, please contact us.

Software engineering

• Helping visualise what happens inside a nuclear reactor: It is now straightforward for researchers at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE) to visualise what happens inside a nuclear fusion reactor.
   
• Astonishingly fast fitting of models to big datasets: We developed a code framework, initially used for astronomy, so that it had the flexibility to be quickly adaptated to new problems, such as medical imaging.

Software evaluation

• Helping surgeons to adopt software: "the evaluation was invaluable in identifying and addressing very important aspects within the project for sustainability of the software" - Gary Wills, Project Manager, VRIC.

Building communities

• Making software available to new users: "The Software Sustainability Institute provided all that experience and turned what had been an extremely painful process into a highly productive and rewarding one." - Professor Joanna Wardlaw, Director, Brain Research Imaging Centre.
