Michał Szczepanik

Michał is a postdoc at Psychoinformatics Lab, INM-7, Forschungszentrum Jülich.

He completed his BSc and MSc in Neuroinformatics, an interdisciplinary program at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, and PhD at the Laboratory of Brain Imaging (LOBI), Nencki Institute. His doctoral project was about neural correlates of emotional contagion in humans, and most of his work involved fMRI data collection and analysis. Because LOBI operates as a core facility, during his time there he became particularly interested in the data handling side of neuroscience.

His current work is in the area of research data management and research software development, and revolves around DataLad. His responsibilities include bug fixing, user support, technical writing, teaching, and sometimes just trying out new pieces of software.
