Summary
Pedro Serrano is a data stewardship and governance specialist with 10+ years of experience at the intersection of law, policy, and data science, currently coordinating Data Stewardship Services at Maastricht University. He designs research data management programs, leads a team of data stewards, and ensures regulatory compliance (GDPR, FAIR, ethics) while holding a 2024 DPO certification. His background spans academic research roles, industry data science in finance and insurance, and technical leadership as Data Architect for European policy databases (EWCdb, CbCMdb). A published educator and lecturer, he translates complex technical concepts for legal and policy audiences and promotes FAIR software practices as a former Netherlands eScience Center fellow. Unusually for a governance lead, he pairs deep technical skills (development and cloud architecture) with a PhD-level focus on Law & Technology, enabling pragmatic, audit-ready solutions for sensitive research data.
