In this webinar, our panellist will discuss aspects related to developing and implementing standards, as well as showcasing success stories and how these are accepted by the community and further scientific advances. In addition, we will explore how projects can be supported and what structures are in place to work towards sustainable standards.

Speakers
Kamil Dziubek, University Assistant, University of Vienna, Austria
Kamil Dziubek is a University Assistant in the Department of Mineralogy and Crystallography at the University of Vienna. Kamil also serves as the IUCr Representative to CODATA and is a member of the IUCr Committee on Data (CommDat), which advises the IUCr on various aspects of crystallographic data, focusing on policy and necessary actions regarding data publishing, the preservation of raw data and its associated metadata, as well as the management of databases and repositories. Besides, CommDat maintains a formal relationship with the IUCr Committee for the Maintenance of the CIF Standard (COMCIFS), which oversees the CIF standard and leads the active development of the CIF specification and related dictionaries.

Robert Hanson, Professor of Chemistry, Emeritus, St. Olaf College, USA
Robert Hanson, Professor of Chemistry (Emeritus) at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, USA, serves as chair of the IUPAC Project Development of a Standard for FAIR Data Management of Spectroscopic Data (IUPAC project page or github page). The objective of this project is to apply FAIR data principles to spectroscopic data in the field of chemistry building on IUPAC’s extensive expertise in this area. Project publications to date include IUPAC specification for the FAIR management of spectroscopic data in chemistry (IUPAC FAIRSpec) – guiding principles and FAIRSpec-Ready Spectroscopic Data Collections – Advice for Researchers, Authors, and Data Managers (IUPAC Technical Report).

Dr. Jacob Al-Saleem, a Data Science Manager at CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society, leads a team working to develop novel bioinformatic solutions using artificial intelligence to extract and connect scientific knowledge. He led the data science efforts for a team that developed a heterogeneous knowledge graph-based approach to identify repositionable therapeutics for COVID-19. His knowledge graph work is the foundation for the Life Sciences Knowledge Graph that is featured in CAS BioFinder. Dr. Al-Saleem earned his B.S. in Molecular Genetics and Ph.D. in Molecular Cellular and Developmental Biology from The Ohio State University, where his work focused on the molecular virology of Human T cell Leukemia Viruses.
Birgit (Bea) Braun, Ph.D., is an R&D/TS&D Fellow for Digital Innovation in the Packaging, Specialty Plastics & Hydrocarbons R&D organization at Dow. She has held diverse roles across R&D and M&E, and for more than a decade, Bea has focused on applying Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to chemical manufacturing and materials research. She has led the development and deployment of numerous data science solutions across Dow, and today her work centers on unlocking value through holistic digital transformation. Bea earned a Dipl.-Ing. in Process Engineering with a specialization in Industrial Environmental Protection from Montanuniversität Leoben in Austria, she holds an M.S. in Environmental Science & Engineering and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines.
Garrison W. (Gary) Cottrell is a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at UC San Diego. He co-founded the Perceptual Expertise Network, and directed the Temporal Dynamics of Learning Center, an NSF-sponsored Science of Learning Center spread across four countries. Gary’s research is strongly interdisciplinary. He is interested in Cognitive Science and Computational Cognitive Neuroscience and in applying AI to problems in other areas of science or engineering. Most recently he has been using deep learning to elucidate the structure of small (natural product) molecules from their NMR spectra in collaboration with Bill Gerwick at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. He received his PhD in 1985 from the University of Rochester and did a postdoc at the Institute of Cognitive Science at UCSD until 1987, when he joined the CSE Department.
