Frank Schmidt

Frank Schmidt serves as a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering within the School of Architecture and Construction at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences. His academic role centers on teaching and research in civil engineering disciplines, contributing to both bachelor's and master's degree programs including Civil Engineering (B.Eng. and M.Eng.) and specialized tracks like E2D (Energy-Efficient Planning and Building).

His research spans critical areas of modern construction:

• Sustainable building practices and energy efficiency
• Structural engineering and materials science
• Construction project management
• Climate-resilient infrastructure
• Recycling and resource optimization in building processes

These interests align with the department's active projects such as CO2-optimized building design, sustainable concrete development, and climate adaptation in civil engineering.

The department maintains strong industry connections through work-integrated study programs and applied research initiatives. Professor Schmidt participates in the university's focus on practical, solution-oriented engineering education with facilities including model workshops, 3D printing labs, and structural testing environments. His work supports THA's mission of application-focused research addressing contemporary construction challenges.
