Short summary
With funding by the LTV faculty, a common infrastructure for advanced systems analysis was established at the department of Biosystems and Technology. The equipment is available to all SLU staff at the LTV faculty.
Common equipment for high quality systems analysis
The equipment includes two computers. One is a high-end workstation with relative high computing power for modelling tasks, focusing on integrating, processing, and interpreting large datasets from complex systems across various domains. The other is a laptop with installed licences for various system assessment tasks, specifically life cycle assessment (LCA). This infrastructure will serve as a critical foundation for modelling, simulation, and decision-making tools that can address pressing societal and scientific challenges. By establishing a robust, scalable, and flexible environment, this infrastructure aims to enhance the capacity to conduct in-depth analyses of systems relevant for SLU researchers at the LTV faculty—ranging from environmental networks to socio-technical systems—supporting interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation.
Our vision includes the development of high-performance computing capabilities and sophisticated analytical tools, all of which are essential to tackling the complexity and scale of modern system-level problems. This infrastructure will not only support current research but also facilitate future projects, enabling the rapid exploration of new ideas, fostering collaborations across disciplines, and driving impactful discoveries.
