Maria Paola Tomasino (MPT) is a contracted researcher at the Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research, CIIMAR (University of Porto) responsible for Data Stewardship. She is currently part of the Data Management and Open Science office, supporting researchers in handling their data according to FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) and Open Science principles. MPT participates as a team member or core team member in several national and international projects, microbiome analysis consortia aiming to explore microbial communities at the taxonomic and functional level (e.g. OSD, EMOSE), and in national and European research infrastructures for biological data. As a CIIMAR researcher, MPT was also employed in different Sea Campaigns being responsible for the biological/biogeochemical team. She is a co-inventor of 1 patent registered (2018). Co-supervised 2 MSc dissertations and 6 BSc final projects. MPT has a dedicated interest in teaching and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students, encouraging outreach and education activities. She was involved in different citizen science initiatives, promoting collaboration between scientists and the general public.
