        Hi 595newg52,

        Well I use a Dell Optiplex 9010.. It is a pretty powerful computer! I get to use two screens as well so I can get plenty of work done! It has an intel i5 processor with 16GB of RAM which means I can run lots of simulations on my computer without it slowing down too much! I really do like it.

        Hi 595newg52 – thanks for the question 🙂

        I have a mac book pro for travelling around and giving presentations in schools and universities.

        Im actually very lucky because i also have a dell PC computer for doing things with the data i generate from my experiments as well.

        I also have a calculator – (because I’m terrible at maths lol)

        does that help?

        Hi 595newg52, I use a lot of different computers and operating systems for what I do. I have a Dell computer running Windows at work, a Macbook for home and I have a few laptops that run linux too. All of the supercomputers I use have linux as their operating system. You can see pictures of some of these computers on my profile!
