Mark Hahnel

“I always wanted to stay in academia, but when I came up with a solution for a problem I had, something else took over...” says Mark Hahnel, founder of figshare, an open data tool that allows researchers to publish all of their data in a citable, searchable and sharable manner. Mark is fresh out of academia having just completed a PhD in stem cell biology at Imperial College London. “I’m passionate about open science and the potential it has to revolutionize the research community.”
