Dr. Stephan Hachinger leads the Research Data Management (FDM/RDM) Team at Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ, part of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities). He holds a Ph.D. degree in astrophysics (2011, MPA / TU Munich), where he worked on radiative-transfer simulations and supernova data. In 2014, he joined LRZ in the AlpEnDAC project. His focus is nowadays on FAIR RDM (and on conceptualising respective LRZ services, as well as facilitating data-driven workflows), but still his projects are often relating to environmental computing with its exciting and demanding use cases.
