Research Software Engineering As A Service: Scientific Software Engineering Center (SSEC) @ University of Washington

The Scientific Software Engineering Center (SSEC) at the University of Washington’s eScience
Institute works with researchers across various disciplines to build robust software that bolsters
inquiry and builds community. The resulting tools are open source, maintainable and reusable,
designed to sustain and lead to scientific breakthroughs.

The poster we propose to present would highlight not just our model of engaging as software
engineers with the research community, but also highlight several of our successfully graduated
projects, spanning diverse research domains from neurobiology to seismology to conservation
efforts and beyond.

By demonstrating prior successes and discussing how we achieve them, we hope to spark
conversations about our approach to supporting researchers and show an interesting approach
to research software engineering.
