Martin Schmidt

Martin Schmidt is a Full Professor (W3) for Nonlinear Optimization at the Department of Mathematics, Trier University, since 2019. He has held leadership roles in research training groups and international committees, focusing on mathematical modeling and optimization of energy systems, gas networks, and market equilibria. His work bridges mixed-integer nonlinear optimization, bilevel optimization, and robust methods with applications to real-world energy challenges.

• Education: PhD in Mathematics (2013), Diplom in Mathematics (2008), both from Leibniz University Hannover.
• Editorial Roles: Editorial Board member of Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications and Optimization Letters, Associate Editor for OR Spectrum and EURO Journal on Computational Optimization.

His research integrates complex physical systems (e.g., gas transmission networks) with game-theoretic models to analyze energy markets. Recent publications emphasize robust optimization, decomposition techniques, and machine learning integration in bilevel frameworks. Awards highlight his contributions to gas market feasibility, linear bilevel optimization, and practical applications in energy systems. Collaborations span institutions like Universidad Zaragoza, Sapienza University, and Forschungszentrum Jülich.
