Juergen Wastl

A Molecular Biologist & Biochemist by training, I slowly grew into project management and strategy in Industry and Higher Education. As leader of the Digital Science Consultancy team, I will expand the range of activities with which the Consultancy team engages. Our team of data scientists, developers and subject matter experts numbers over 80 across the Digital Science portfolio and already supports research institutions, funders, governments and other institutions aligned to research to make more and better use of data to inform their strategies and decisions.

Previously I headed the Research Information team at the University of Cambridge with responsibilities for managing and implementing software tools for Academics and Administrators (Symplectic, Altmetric, Dimensions, Research Professional, ORCID and VIVO), provision of analysis (including network and collaboration analysis) for Collegiate Cambridge and acted as Deputy REF Manager.
