=======================

I am currently not maintaining my academic website as I am on leave from Carnegie Mellon, serving as the Director of Programs at the Center for Open Science.

=======================

I am a Senior Librarian at Carnegie Mellon University Libraries and a Director for Open Science & Data Collaborations Program. I am passionate about helping the research community with data needs, fostering collaboration across disciplinary boundaries, facilitating scientific data reuse and reproducibility, and engaging various stake holders to build a healthy data ecosystem. My current research focus is on open science methodology and assessments, and on secondary reuse of biomedical data.

Before joining the libraries, I completed my PhD in Cell Biology at University of Alberta, postdoctoral research at Yale/Harvard, and independent research at Carnegie Mellon University. I have collaborated with biologists, clinicians, and data scientists on many successful research projects in areas spanning membrane trafficking, lipid metabolism, bioinformatics, and computational analysis of large biomedical datasets.
