Ute Maria Schmid (born 1965) is a German computer scientist whose research interests include interpretable artificial intelligence and inductive programming. She is a professor at the University of Bamberg, in charge of the chair for cognitive systems.
Education and career
Schmid was a high school student at St.-Thomas-Gymnasium Wettenhausen [de]. She studied psychology at the Erziehungswissenschaftlichen Hochschule Landau (which became part of the University of Koblenz and Landau and later the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau) and at Technische Universität Berlin, earning a diploma through TU Berlin in 1989. Following this, she continued at TU Berlin, studying computer science. She earned both a second diploma and a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) in 1994, with a dissertation jointly supervised by computer scientist Bernd Mahr [de] and psychologist Klaus Eyferth. She completed a habilitation through TU Berlin in 2002.
After postdoctoral research at Carnegie Mellon University, Schmid worked as an assistant professor at TU Berlin from 1994 until 2001, and as a lecturer at Osnabrück University from 2001 to 2004. She took her present position as a professor at the University of Bamberg in 2004, and served as dean of the Faculty of Information Systems and Applied Computer Sciences from 2017 to 2019.
Recognition
Schmid is a Fellow of the European Association for Artificial Intelligence, elected in 2022. In 2023, she was named as a Fellow of the German Informatics Society, honoring her interdisciplinary research combining psychology and computer science, her work in primary school computer science education, and her position as a role model for young women in computer science.
