She leads the development of the Open Research Infrastructure roadmap that is part of a wider Open Research Programme led by Cambridge University Libraries. She is also responsible for the development of Cambridge’s Institutional Repository, Apollo, and integrations with other systems and services to support researchers making their research outputs available in ways that enable greater discoverability and re-use.
