Arthur studied his PhD in Molecular Simulation at the University of Amsterdam and subsequently worked at SURF in the Data Management team for four years supporting research institutes and medical centers with the development IT services for FAIR data. In October, he started work as the data steward of QuTech at TU Delft.

Welcome to new data manager: Aleksandra  Wilczynska Aleksandra is a data analyst with a strong background in data management, visualisation and business intelligence. She is experienced in econometric modelling, applied social science, and market research. She obtained her PhD in Information and Knowledge Society at Open University of Catalonia where she studied work-related well-being of knowledge workers. Aleksandra currently works a Data Manager at TU Delft’s Digital Competence Centre. Together with her team, she supports the researchers in managing and publishing their data following the FAIR principles.

Welcome to new data steward: Iris Schutte Iris Schutte started as a new data steward at the University of Twente. She will provide data management support for researchers in the faculties of Engineering Technology and Science & Technology. Before she joined the team in Twente she worked as a postdoc researcher at Utrecht University where she conducted research into the neurophysiological basis of human behaviour. In her spare time she loves to teach children how to swim at the local swimming club.
