Data and Analytics Facility for National Infrastructure

The Data and Analytics Facility for National Infrastructure (DAFNI) is a computing platform which supports advanced research into national infrastructure including transport, water, energy and city-scale modelling.[1] DAFNI was established in 2017[2] and spent four years in development before launching in July 2021.[3] It brings together data, computing resources and expertise to support UK infrastructure research. It provides software allowing researchers to study complex infrastructure systems in cities, such as sewage systems or transportation networks.[4][5]The DAFNI Annual Conference is addressed by experts in these disciplines.[6][7][8]

Chair of the DAFNI Strategy Board is Jim Hall.[9] He is Professor of Environmental Risks in the School of Geography and the Environment at the University of Oxford,[10] a senior research fellow in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford and Fellow of Linacre College.
