Data Cafe Cologne

We are happy to announce our very first Data Café which will take place on April 16th at the Mensa Zülpicher Straße in Cologne. We’ll be right next to the Coffee Bar!

the aim of the event is to provide informal consulting opportunities for students, PhD’s, and early PostDocs such as: quick questions on e.g. how to structure your files in a way it makes sense, second opinions on your statistical analysis or data visualization, or even a first chat regarding the possibility of using machine learning methods for your project.

Comments on Collaboration - My Experience with the DKZ.2R Rent-an-Expert Program

At the beginning of this year (2025), I received an email regarding the DKZ.2R “Rent an expert” program. I was very interested in this initiative and therefore applied for support from the scientific consulting team at the Rhine-Ruhr Center for Scientific Data Literacy (DKZ.2R) for assistance with my data analysis.

I obtained my master’s degree in Plant Nutrition from the China Agricultural University and pursued my PhD study at the University of Hohenheim. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Institute of Crop Science and Resource Conservation, Crop Functional Genomics, at the University of Bonn.
My research expertise includes plant culturing, molecule cloning, biochemical analysis and limited data analysis experience on large-scale NGS datasets.
Since the beginning of April 2025, two DKZ.2R consultants were assigned to me: Tarek Iraki, who is proficient in programming languages such as Python, and Lennard Maßmann, who specializes in working with R. Together, we collaboratively worked on my Postdoctoral project, which focuses on the molecular and genomic dissection of lateral root development in maize.
