Iain Milne
Most research would be impossible without software, and my research is about providing intuitive, professional software applications – often with a strong visualization component – that underpin many sequencing, genotyping and analysis projects both within the institute and further afield. To this end, I lead the development of a range of extensively used programs with a worldwide install base of over 150,000 users. These programs use a combination of traditional desktop interfaces along with back-end components that rely heavily on our high-performance scientific computing cluster and infrastructure.
For more information on these applications, please visit the website for the Information and Computational Sciences group.
I also manage and maintain the Institute's Linux-based scientific-computing resources, including the HPC cluster and associated storage and network services. This resource provides almost 500 CPU cores of computing power to researchers at the James Hutton Institute, along with access to over 2 TB of memory and just shy of half a petabyte of storage.
