The session was designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and industry practice, giving students a practical overview of how advanced analytics are currently deployed in real-world heavy industry.

Key topics covered by the panel included how machine learning and data science are actively applied to:

• Improve operational efficiency: Streamlining complex production pipelines.
• Elevate product quality: Using predictive models to ensure metallurgical consistency.
• Drive sustainability: Leveraging data to optimize processes and support green steel initiatives.

The interactive discussion concluded with an engaging Q&A, highlighting the thoughtful and deeply technical questions brought forward by the visiting class.
