Stian Soiland-Reyes is a Seniorer Lecturer at the eScience Lab in the Department of Computer Science.In his research he is working on reproducibility, provenance and metadata to improve FAIR sharing of open research data and computational workflows, within ELIXIR Europe, European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) projects including EOSC-Life and the workflow repository WorkflowHub.eu, as well as building FAIR approaches for high-performance compute (HPC) environments within BioExcel. Stian contributed to the W3C PROV standard and its implementation in workflow systems.As one of the early founders to the Research Object approach for sharing research outputs using Linked Data, he is the co-lead of RO-Crate, a community-based lightweight approach to packaging and publishing research data with structured metadata.Stian is on the leadership team of Common Workflow Language, a standard for interoperable computational workflow, as well as on the technical steering committee for BioCompute Object, an approach for describing workflows for submission to regulatory authorities. Stian is the Technical and Community Advisor for the recently started Workflows Community Initiative.Stian graduated in 2006 with an MSc in Computer Science from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).He has more than two decades of experience as an IT professional, including 15 years as a software developer working across academia and industry. He joined the eScience Lab in 2005 (then called the myGrid team), where he became the Technical Lead Developer of the open-source scientific workflow management system Taverna, which he helped transition to the Apache Software Foundation incubator.Stian contributed to the W3C PROV specifications for capturing provenance and co-developed the Research Object model and ontologies. In recent years, Stian has continued this passion for reproducibility, structured metadata and open scholarship with engagement in several projects related to FAIR, computational workflows, and RO-Crate.
