In June,
Mandy Terrill joined UCSF as our inaugural associate chief information officer for Research. Terrill comes from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) where she was the director of Research Applications and Technology and provided oversight of the Advanced Computing Center and the Research Applications Teams. She worked closely with research directors to plan and prioritize system work and was responsible for defining and continuously improving the research technology direction and establishing IT capacity planning to ensure adequate technology infrastructure to meet OHSU research needs. Mandy earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and science from Western Oregon University and a master’s degree in information technology project management from Northeastern University.
Mandy finds deep joy in working with the researcher community to build technology plans that facilitate their areas of research. She has already started meeting with many researchers across our institution and is looking forward to learning about the great work being done at UCSF. Her initial focus will be defining a future vision for research IT and building a roadmap to facilitate and enhance service and support for UCSF Research.
