Bernhard Schmitzer

Prof. Bernhard Schmitzer is a Professor at the Institute of Computer Science, University of Göttingen. He leads the Optimal Transport research group and is a member of the Campus Institute Data Science (CIDAS). His work focuses on developing mathematical frameworks and algorithms for optimal transport theory, with applications in data analysis, image processing, and computational mathematics. He teaches courses such as the Journal Club Optimal Transport for Data Analysis, Scientific Writing, and Visualization. His research integrates geometric methods, stochastic systems, and numerical optimization to address complex problems in healthcare imaging and theoretical modeling.

Key contributions include advancements in entropic transport kernels, domain decomposition techniques, and applications in medical imaging (e.g., PET and tomography). Despite his extensive publication record, no scientific awards are explicitly mentioned. He collaborates on interdisciplinary projects involving CIDAS and oversees the Optimal Transport research group at the university.
