Summary
Marion Rivoal is a research leader with 10 years' experience specializing in research data management, ontologies, and knowledge representation for the humanities and social sciences. Based in Lausanne, she coordinates technical and data infrastructures (DaSCH satellite, PlaTec/Ladhul) at the Université de Lausanne, helping projects with strong digital components preserve and valorize primary research data. Her background—anchored in a PhD in archaeology and roles from e-curation at SIB to research engineering at CNRS—gives her a rare blend of domain scholarship and technical stewardship. She is skilled at translating scholarly needs into sustainable data practices and interoperable semantic models, and has run pilot projects aimed at long-term preservation of SHS datasets. An often-overlooked strength is her ability to bridge institutional infrastructures and hands-on curation workflows, making complex data both reusable and discoverable.
