Filipp Schmidt

Filipp Schmidt is a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the Department of General Psychology within the Department 06 Psychology and Sports Science of Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen. His research focuses on visual perception and cognition, particularly how humans integrate perceptive features into unified environmental representations through computer graphics, psychophysics, and modeling.

• PhD from Technische Universität Kaiserslautern (2014)
• Diploma in Psychology from Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen (2009)

Research interests span material recognition, shape transformations, and perceptual organization of naturalistic materials. Current projects combine behavioral experiments, machine learning, and fMRI to decode material categorization hierarchies and visual-semantic interactions.

Recent publications analyze wood material perception (2023), gloss prediction (2024), animacy inference from shape (2017), and one-shot generalization via drawing tasks (2022). Collaborates with Prof. Roland W. Fleming on DFG-funded project C1.
