About Us

Take a closer look at who we are, the types of projects we support, and how researchers can work with us to strengthen the software foundations of their research.

Meet the Team

Meet the people behind the OxRSE team and discover their backgrounds, expertise, and the projects they’re currently working on or have contributed to in the past.

Global.health

An epidemiological platform established during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide open access to de-identified line list case data, facilitating research into infectious diseases and emerging outbreaks.

PyBaMM

A framework for writing and solving systems of differential equations, a library of battery models and parameters, and specialized tools for simulating battery-specific experiments and visualizing the results.

PETRUSHKA

Personalising Antidepressant Treatment for Unipolar Depression Combining Individual Choices, Risks and big Data

POSEIDON

An advanced simulation tool designed to help manage fisheries by modelling the behaviour of fishing fleets and their interactions with the environment.

OCSPlus

A mobile app-based tool developed to sensitively detect domain-general cognitive impairments in conditions like stroke, MCI, and ageing, without overloading language demands.

Schmidt Sciences

Support for postdoctoral fellows on individual projects as well as training in software best practices, helping fellows build robust, reusable tools and gain valuable, transferable skills for future careers.

MAMA

App that supports participants in the NIHR-funded MAMA clinical study by enabling easy access to trial information and questionnaires. Developed with NPEU CTU, it streamlines participation and enhances user engagement.

OxWell

An interactive platform to support exploration of mental health survey data from children and young people, enabling researchers and policymakers to visualise trends and inform evidence-based decisions.

LanguageScreen

A mobile app developed with education researchers to assess young children’s language skills. It supports early language interventions in schools and led to the OxEd & Assessment spin-out.

Gutenberg

A platform that provides an environment for hosting training materials in a structured, pathway-based style, offering a visual interface for browsing the various sections of training content and viewing them.

What We Do

Researchers can engage with us at the grant application stage or through collaborating on projects that have already been funded. We can also provide consultancy and code review services tailored to support your project's specific requirements.
