What is my role within CATALPA?

As a research software engineer, I develop and maintain scientific software solutions for research projects at the FernUniversität in Hagen. In collaboration with researchers, I design and implement applications to collect research data and ensure its sustainable management.

Why CATALPA?

CATALPA is a place where teaching and learning are at home. Where could work be better placed than in this environment, which puts education and development at its center?
