Biography

Marcel holds a Bachelor degree in Scientific Programing from the FH Aachen, Germany, and a Master degree in Computer Science from the RWTH Aachen University, Germany.

From 2019, he works in the department for Research Process & Data Management of the IT Center of the RWTH Aachen University, Germany, as a scientific employee with a focus on research data management. He worked on the Collaborative Scientific Integration Environ-ment (Coscine) a Research Data Management Platform developed at the RWTH Aachen Uni-versity. Currently he is developing JARDS (Joint Application, Review, and Dispatch Service), a platform for the creation and the scientific review of applications for computation time in NHR.

In 2021 Marcel joined the Crosssectional Group Data Management at the National High Per-formance Computing Center for Computational Engineering Science (NHR4CES).

Since 2022, Marcel leads the Group Research Data Processes for High Performance Compu-ting Systems at RWTH Aachen University, Germany.

Thematic Advice

The amount of research data is growing rapidly; large-scale research projects generate huge amounts of data. However, without proper data management knowledge about the data is quickly lost and other researchers cannot utilize the data; this means results cannot be re-produced and the data cannot be reused in a different context.

Marcel can help with making research data FAIR, this means Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable, especially when considering the specific challenges of a high perfor-mance computing environment.

Professional Competence

Marcel focusses on Research Data Management in the context of High Performance Computing. He is in active exchange with other NHR centers and different NFDIs to exchange and improve knowledge on Research Data Management especially with regard to metadata management and the challenges that arise in high performance computing.
