Learn the latest guidelines and best practices from UNC’s Resea rch Data Management Core.\n\n \n\nPanelists\n\n\n\nModerator: Thu-Mai Lewi s\, assistant director of Research Data Stewardship\, Research Data Manage ment Core\nDr. Thu-Mai Lewis (she/her) serves as the Assistant Director of Research Data Stewardship for the Research Data Management Core. In this role\, Dr. Lewis oversees the planning\, development\, coordination\, and deployment of data management and sharing support services for the UNC res earch community. She has over a decade of experience in managing\, streaml ining\, and executing research data curation and data repository ingest wo rkflows\, and has led initiatives to raise standards of data quality to in clude reproducibility as a benchmark.\n\nDr. Lewis holds a PhD and an MS i n information science with a concentration in archives and records managem ent from the UNC School of Information and Library Science. Her research f ocuses on the impact of journal-based data policies on researchers’ repr oducible research practices. She also has an MA and BA in art history from UNC. Dr. Lewis is a United States Air Force veteran.\n\n \n\n\n\nStan Aha lt\, dean of the UNC School of Data Science and Society\nDr. Stan Ahalt is the inaugural dean of the UNC School of Data Science and Society as of Ju ne 2022. Ahalt was previously the director of the Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI) at UNC-Chapel Hill and continues to serve at RENCI as the executive advisor and domain scientist for team science. He is also cu rrently the associate director of informatics and data science (IDSci) at the North Carolina Translational and Clinical Sciences Institute (NC TraCS ) at UNC-Chapel Hill and a professor in the department of computer science in the College of Arts & Sciences.\n\nAhalt has a passion for applying da ta science through a team science approach to address the most pressing ch allenges affecting society\, including COVID-19\, weather and climate\, th e opioid and pain management crises\, big data management\, biomedical tre atment discovery\, and bias in the court system. In his years as Director of RENCI\, Ahalt was instrumental in launching two major data science init iatives: The National Consortium for Data Science (NCDS)\, a public-privat e partnership to address big data challenges and opportunities in research and business\, and iRODS\, an effort to develop a branch of the popular i ntegrated Rule-Oriented Data System as enterprise-quality software\, compl ete with rigorous testing and a robust\, feature-rich code base.\n\nThroug h $34.5 million in funding in the last five years\, Ahalt has positioned R ENCI and UNC-Chapel Hill as a national leader in the coordination of large \, collaborative\, and complex federal data science grants.\n\n \n\n\n\nJo nathan Crabtree\, director of Research Data Management Core\nJonathan Crab tree is the recently appointed inaugural Director of the Research Data Man agement Core (RDMC) at UNC Chapel Hill. He was previously the Director for Research Data Information Systems at the HW Odum Institute for Social Sci ence. The institute’s social science data archive is one of the oldest a nd most extensive in the United States. As director\, Crabtree completely revamped the institute’s technology infrastructure and has positioned th e institute to assume a leading national as well as international role in information archiving.\n\nCrabtree’s experience in social science\, info rmation science\, information technology and networking as well as his eng ineering background bring different perspectives to his current role. Crab tree joined the institute over 30 years ago and is responsible for designi ng and maintaining the technology infrastructure that supports the institu te’s wide array of services. Before moving to the social science side of campus he was an information systems technologist for the University of N orth Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. His grounding in medical information technology adds to his education and training in electrical en gineering\, library and information science\, digital preservation\, compu ter science\, economics\, geographic information systems\, hydrology and g eomorphology. His Ph.D. in Information Science is from the UNC School of I nformation and Library Science with his research focused on the auditing o f trusted repositories.\n\n \n\n\n\nAshok Krishnamurthy\, director of RENC I\nAshok Krishnamurthy is the Director of the Renaissance Computing Instit ute (RENCI) and a Research Professor of Computer Science at UNC-Chapel Hil l. He is also the Co-director for Informatics and Data Science (IDSci) at NC TraCS. Krishnamurthy has many years of experience with informatics and data science including data science cyberinfrastructure\, medical image an alysis\, time-series data analysis\, machine learning and high performance computing.\n\nHe has over 15 years’ experience as both a researcher and an administrator in advancing cutting-edge research in interdisciplinary teams. Krishnamurthy collaborates with researchers in informatics\, biomed ical and health research\, and social sciences to develop projects and pro grams that leverage the power of data science and scalable computing to so lve challenging problems that advance the state-of-the-art. He advises und ergraduate and graduate students and mentors post-doctoral scholars and ju nior investigators.\n\nAshok’s research over the years has been funded b y NSF\, NIH\, DoD\, DARPA and DOE. Krishnamurthy holds PhD and master’s degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Flor ida and a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the Indian In stitute of Technology.\n\n \n\n\n\nHelen Tibbo\, professor in the UNC Scho ol of Information & Library Science\nDr. Helen R. Tibbo teaches in the are as of archives and records management\, digital preservation and access\, appraisal\, trustworthy repositories\, and data curation. She is the Alumn i Distinguished Professor at the UNC School of Information and Library Sci ence (SILS) and directs the master’s program in Digital Curation and Man agement. She also developed the Archives and Records Management (ARM) conc entration at SILS.\n\nMost recently\, she received IMLS funding for “Cur ating Research Assets and Data using Lifecycle Education: Data Management Education Tools for Librarians\, Archivists\, & Content Creators” or CRA DLE\, a project that funded the creation of the Research Data Management a nd Sharing MOOC.
