I am the Associate Director of the Cyberinfrastructure Integration Research Center which is part of the Pervasive Technology Institute. I've been working in some capacity with RDA since 2014 and roles include the Co-Chair of the Technical Advisory Board, member of the Organizational Assembly, and co-chairs of two exciting RDA Interest Groups the CODATA/RDA Schools for Research Data Science Interest Group and the Data Fabric Interest Group. I've worked in various research cyberinfrastructure projects for nearly 20 years, including the Open Science Grid and eXtreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment.
