Find a Data Champion

I work in cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging, with a strong focus on research data management, reproducible analysis, and open science practices. Before training in cognitive neuroscience, I was educated in computer science and trained as a systems analyst, which continues to shape how I approach research data, workflows, and computational methods. In my current work, I focus on brain imaging data, including data organisation in BIDS (Brain Imaging Data Structure), preprocessing and analysis pipelines, and the development of practical training materials to support researchers in using modern computational tools and adopting good data practices.

Roberto Ragno is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie European Fellow at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research. His primary area of expertise is the application of Bayesian statistical modelling to archaeological data, with a focus on long-term human–environment dynamics in the Roman Mediterranean. He is committed to open and reproducible research practices, including the publication of open-access datasets, code repositories, and software workflows.
