Anna Tímár graduated in 2024 from the University of Vienna, Faculty of Biology. She specialized in bioinformatics and molecular biology, and wrote her thesis on the bioinformatic analysis of genetic similarities in Scilla species. Alongside her university studies, she worked as an IT assistant and previously had experience in web development and graphic design.

She joined the HUN-REN Centre for Ecological Research in 2024 as a data steward. In her work, she supports researchers by assisting with the completion of research data management plans and providing consultation on data management issues. She assesses the quality and quantity of data produced at the research centre, as well as the data management methods applied. She also participated in founding the Data Steward Committee of the HUN-REN Centre for Ecological Research.

“There are many research projects running at the institute where data management plays an important role, so it’s crucial to stay up to date with where each project stands. I find archiving and the long-term preservation of research results important—this is a goal I’m happy to work for.”
