Short bio: Franz has already a master degree in metallurgy but seeks additional expertise in data analysis and machine learning, therefore currently revisiting the Montanuniversität Leoben as bachelor student in Industrial Data Science.

Graduated in 2015 he went into the quality management of the domestic steel industry. Working in a laboratory environment within a very dynamic market he quickly noticed the unstoppable tendencies to more and more data driven process planning, monitoring and production itself.
