Below we report on recent advances in the field of data science at the University of Bremen and keep you informed about the activities of the DSC and its members. You will find news about research projects, education and training opportunities, transfer activities, and much more.

The Data Science Center welcomes six new team members!

We warmly welcome our five new employees for training and consulting, as well as a team assistant, who will enrich the DSC as part of the BMBF-funded project “DataNord”!

DataNord is an interdisciplinary data competence center for the Bremen region. It offers researchers from all disciplines and career levels diverse opportunities to enhance their data skills throughout the entire data lifecycle. This includes training sessions, hackathons, consulting services, as well as networking and professional exchange opportunities. The goal of DataNord is to sustainably increase the data competencies of researchers from various disciplines and thus promote innovation in science.

The new colleagues play a key role in shaping DataNord’s offerings. As an interdisciplinary team, Sarah Büker, Dr. Susanne de Vogel, Nele Fuchs, Dr. Maryam Movahedifar, and Annika Nolte will establish a help desk at the DSC with innovative consulting and training services in data management and data science. They bring a wide range of expertise from various scientific fields to the DSC.

Sarah completed her Master’s degree in Marine Environmental Sciences at University Oldenburg in 2023, focusing particularly on the extraction and analysis of environmental DNA. She previously completed her Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences in 2019. From now on, she will support researchers in the field of environmental sciences as well as health sciences, with a focus on metabarcoding and sequence analysis. To Sarah’s Profile

Susanne completed her Ph.D. in Sociology at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in 2019 and worked for several years as a research associate in various panel surveys at the German Centre for Higher Education and Science Studies (DZHW) in Hannover.
