Lucas Schmitt

Lucas Schmitt is a PhD student in the Professorship for Mathematics III (Mathematics of Machine Learning) at the University of Würzburg's Institute of Mathematics. His research focuses on adversarial robustness in machine learning using variational methods and geometric approaches, particularly through the DFG-funded GeoMAR project. He also investigates data-driven analysis of young handball players' development through the Handball Metastats initiative. Schmitt contributes to open-source projects, including a reinforcement learning agent for the Bomberman game, demonstrated in his GitHub repository. His work bridges theoretical mathematics with practical applications in machine learning and sports analytics.
