Franziska is the data steward of the Centre for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science at the University of Vienna. She holds an MSc in environmental sciences as well as a PhD in microbiology from the University of Vienna. A large focus during her PhD was data analysis and visualization, which only strengthened an already existing preoccupation with data and obsessively organizing things. Through her work as a doctoral program coordinator, she discovered her love for supporting other researchers. Becoming a data steward was the logical conclusion to happily marry these passions.

Emily holds a BA in anthropology and archaeology from the College of Wooster in Ohio and earned her Ph.D. in anthropology and demography from The Pennsylvania State University. She joined the UNIVIE data stewardship team in March of 2023. Emily describes herself as "scientifically nosey" and enjoys connecting with scientists and developing custom solutions that meet their unique requests. In addition to helping researchers make their data management dreams come true, Emily is an avid baker and loves picnicking on the Danube with her husband, Zachary, and her perfect dog, Zoa.
