Martin Schmidt studied Mathematics and Computer Science at the Leibniz Universität Hannover and received his PhD in 2013 in the area of algorithmic optimization. From 2014 to 2018 he was junior professor for the optimization of energy systems at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and the Energy Campus Nürnberg.
His research interests are mixed-integer nonlinear optimization as well as multilevel modeling and optimization. He develops novel algorithms for solving these problems for real-world and large-scale instances. His application focus is on the energy sector.
