Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaria Coto-sarmiento is a computational archaeologist and postdoctoral research scientist with 11 years of experience applying data-driven methods to archaeological questions across leading European institutions. Currently at CSIC in Barcelona, she combines expertise in computational archaeology, data processing (R) and high-performance computing fostered at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Aarhus University and Tübingen. Her PhD from Universitat de Barcelona underpins a research portfolio spanning field archaeology, ceramology and analytical workflows that bridge traditional archaeological practice with reproducible computational pipelines. Maria is active in open research (ORCID, Google Scholar) and shares code via GitHub under @Mcotsar, reflecting a commitment to transparent, reusable methods. Colleagues describe her as analytically rigorous with a knack for translating messy field data into robust models—an asset for projects that require both domain knowledge and technical fluency. Unusually for an academic, she has also held administrative and public-facing roles, giving her a practical sense for project delivery and science communication.
