Biographical note

Tomasz (Dr. techn.) is a senior researcher and an expert in data management and the design of research data repositories. His areas of expertise also include reproducibility of computational workflows, auditability, and digital preservation. In 2011, he received his MSc in systems and computer networks from the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland. In 2016, he earned his PhD in computer science from TU Wien for his work on verification and validation of scientific workflow re-executions.

He has been involved in numerous international projects, including the preservation of business processes in the EU FP7 TIMBUS project, the design of Open Access Repositories in the Erasmus+ ROMOR project, and the design of common interfaces for earth observation data centers within the EU Horizon2020 OpenEO project. Additionally, he has contributed to the FAIR Data Austria project, implementing repositories and data management planning tools at Austrian universities. He also boasts a proven track record of collaboration in industrial projects focusing on provenance, auditability, and trust of computational processes, such as FFG WellFort, FFG Obaris, and FFG gAIa.

Currently, he serves as the technical lead for the EC INFRA-EOSC project OSTrails, which focuses on pathways to plan, track, and assess Open Science. He also chairs the DMP Common Standards working group and the Active DMPs interest group at the Research Data Alliance, both of which work to realize machine-actionable Data Management Plans. Through participation in the SharedRDM project, he drives their deployment at major Austrian universities and acts as the product owner for the DAMAP tool for machine-actionable DMPs.
