The Scientific Computing team

Until 2016, the team was only a subset of the Computing Centre Operations team. With the transition to the Shared ICT Services Centre (SISC) in 2017, a dedicated "HPC team" was created, composed of 6 members and managing ULB, VUB, CECI and VSC clusters and projects. In 2021, the SISC was dismantled. ULB members of the "HPC team" formed a new Scientific Computing team within the Technologies Pole, as part of the Informatics Department.Below are listed the team members.
