Data Manager, Open Science
Brussels Metropolitan Area Belgium
Summary
Katrina Exter is a data manager specializing in open science with eight years of experience translating complex scientific workflows into robust data practices at the Flanders Marine Institute in Brussels. An ex-astronomer, she brings deep calibration, quality-control and documentation expertise developed over a long research career on instruments such as Herschel/PACS and at institutions including STScI and KU Leuven. She combines hands-on scripting and software testing with archive curation and user-facing documentation, ensuring scientific datasets are both reproducible and discoverable. Comfortable liaising between researchers, developers and agencies, Katrina has a track record of producing “added-value” data products and legacy guides that extend instrument lifecycles. Her background in public communication and training adds an uncommon edge: she not only creates technical solutions but also empowers communities to use them effectively.
