Maricela Abarca

Data Curator for Interdisciplinary Sustainability, Data Management Services
I provide resources and consultation in data management and analysis. I offer workshops for Python as a Carpentries instructor and for data management planning. I help student, faculty, and staff researchers with data management and sharing plans as well as receiving attribution for their research products, including data and software. I advise on repository selection (including Stanford Digital Repository deposits) and other data management practices. I also offer introductory consultations on data science and artificial intelligence methods.

My background includes natural history collection stewardship, both of physical objects and their associated data, and biodiversity informatics. I have also worked on research intelligence (aggregating publication and research output).
