Access to the MMM Hub
Getting access
Access routes to Young depend on whether you are based at one of the partner institutions or not.
For researchers at partner institutions:
If you are a materials modelling researcher based at one of the partner institutions and think that your work would fit well on to Young then please get in touch with the Point of Contact at your institution.
- Brunel University London – Ed Smith and Jun Xia
- Imperial College London – Arash Mostofi
- King’s College London – Alejandro Santana Bonilla
- Queen Mary University of London – Simon Butcher and Tom Bradford
- Queen’s University Belfast – Malachy Montgomery
- University of Lincoln – Matt Watkins and Sergey Chulkov
- University of Reading – Ricardo Grau Crespo
- University College London – Scott Woodley
- University of Oxford – Jon Doye
- University of Southampton – Chris Skylaris, Alister Boags and Taylor Haynes
For Other Researchers:
Access to 30% of the machine is handled through the two relevant materials oriented high end computing consortia, namely the Materials Chemistry Consortium (MCC) and the UK Car-Parrinello Consortium (UKCP). If you are a materials modelling researcher not based at one of the partner institutions and think that your work would fit well on to Young then please get in touch with either the MCC or UKCP. Both consortia are open to accepting new members with appropriate research interests from anywhere in the UK. The relevant Points of Contact for the two consortia are:
- Materials Chemistry Consortium — Scott Woodley
- UK Car-Parrinello Consortium – Phil Hasnip & Matt Probert
FOR 'PUMP-PRIMING' ACCESS:
We support a low-effort mechanism for short-term access to try out the Young infrastructure for materials and molecular modelling simulations without requiring a formal proposal. This will allow researchers to test whether the Young architecture is suitable for their workflow in advance of requesting larger-scale access via the consortia listed above. For a time-limited account with a small 'gold' allocation budget, please email to request access to the Director's allocation budget from Scott Woodley.
