Professional membership
Member of the UKQCD collaboration:
The purpose of the UKQCD Collaboration is to procure and jointly exploit computing facilities for lattice field theory calculations whose primary aim is to increase the predictive power of the Standard Model of elementary particle interactions through numerical simulation of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD).
