Prof. Dr. Patrick Zschech

Patrick Zschech (born 1988) studied Business Informatics in the Bachelor and Master program at the Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) from 2008 to 2015. In the meantime, he spent a year abroad at the Universidad de Granada (UGR) in Andalusia from 2010 to 2011. After completing his Master’s degree, he worked until 2018 for the IT service provider Robotron Datenbank-Software GmbH as an instructor and project member to establish innovative data science qualification programs and to develop new solution concepts in the area of (Industrial) Internet of Things. At the same time, he worked as a research assistant at the Chair of Business Informatics, esp. Business Intelligence Research, at TUD, where he successfully completed his doctorate on the topic “Data Science and Analytics in Industrial Maintenance” in August 2020. In January 2021, Patrick Zschech was appointed Assistant Professor for Intelligent Information Systems at the Institute of Information Systems at FAU.

Patrick Zschech’s research focuses on business analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. In particular, he is concerned with the design, analysis, and use of intelligent information systems based on methods and technologies of advanced data processing (e.g., deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing, process mining). One of the main areas of interest for conducting and applying his research is the field of industrial manufacturing. In addition, he deals with the analysis and design of data science qualification programs and he investigates approaches for increasing acceptance of AI systems from a socio-technical perspective.
