He received the Dipl.-Ing. (M.Sc.) degree in Technical Mathematics and the Dr. techn. (Ph.D.) degree in Computational Mathematics from the Vienna University of Technology in 2000 and 2003, respectively. He was a postdoctoral research associate with the Institute for Analysis and Scientific Computing during 2003. In 2004-2005 he was a postdoctoral research associate with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University and a recipient of the Schrödinger fellowship awarded by the Austrian Science Fund. In 2006 he was member of the team winning the Gordon Bell Prize (Peak Performance Award). From 2005-2008 he was Systems Scientists (special faculty) with Carnegie Mellon’s ECE Department. Dr. Franchetti's research focuses on automatic performance tuning and program generation for emerging parallel platforms, including multicore CPUs, clusters and high-performance systems (HPC), graphics processors (GPUs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and FPGA-acceleration for CPUs. His research goal is to enable automatic generation of highly optimized software libraries for important kernel functionality. He is member of the Spiral research team (www.spiral.net). Dr. Franchetti is co-founder of SpiralGen, a Pittsburgh, PA company commercializing the technology developed in the Spiral project. Franz has been playing the electric guitar on-stage in various rock bands since 1993. Watch him perform live or visit Wr. Neustadt’s newcomer festival SCHMU, where he served as stage engineer.
