Data Champions Search

Before joining the University of Cambridge I was a Software Engineer. Since then I have been working on different research projects across different Departments at the University investigating the epigenetics of obesity, diabetes and related metabolic disorders and human evolutionary genetics. I am currently the Bioinformatics Training Developer for the Bioinformatics Training Programme at the University.

As Marshall Librarian I have taken an active role in supporting the Faculty of Economics with research. I have experience of supporting Open Access and Copyright. I have also completed Masters level training in RDM in my previous role at University of Sheffield. Craig Peacock, IT Manager in Economics, and I are working together as Research Data Champions in the Faculty. We are exploring training opportunities for undergraduates and all new postgraduate students in RDM and we have also given advice on completing ESRC Data Management Plans to academic staff making grant applications.

I am a Project Administrator who works with researchers on a large international research project, based in the Department of Sociology. I have experience with safe data handling and storage, specifically for new research projects and large teams. 

In my role as Library Manager (Biological Sciences) I support STEMM students and researchers across the School of Biological Sciences. I have worked in a variety of different roles over the years and have worked with different groups such as business students and polar scientists. I teach regularly on various research topics and manage library services in the departments of PDN, Genetics, Plant Sciences and Zoology.
