Ada Lovelace Centre
The Ada Lovelace Centre (ALC) is a multi-disciplinary centre of expertise in research, software engineering and data management, enhancing the scientific impact of STFC’s large-scale national facilities.
The ALC uses integrated approaches to address and solve scientific data challenges by:
- Improving how data is handled and processed within STFC facilities to extract greater scientific value and enhance understanding
- Coordinating activities across facilities to exploit cross-cutting opportunities in scientific computing
- Building and maintaining software and data infrastructure capabilities for facilities
- Forming a critical mass of staff and skills aligned to the scientific data challenges of the large facilities
- Supporting research and development activities in software engineering, data management, computational and AI methods and simulation
ALC represents an exciting opportunity to help further expand links to and across the STFC national facilities, drive new research and development to meet emerging needs, and ultimately make a significant and transformative impact on the broad range of science at the facilities.

FitBenchmarking case study
Computational software saves time, energy and costs for research experiments
Developed by STFC Scientific Computing, the ‘FitBenchmarking’ software package is enabling researchers to focus on their scientific research by identifying the “fitting” algorithm that is the best fit for their research data, whilst saving both time and energy costs.
