Georg Merz

Prof. Dr. Georg Merz serves as a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the Department of Computer Science and Media, Brandenburg University of Technology, specializing in artificial intelligence with emphasis on industrial applications and large language models.

Education:

• PhD in Pure Mathematics (Algebraic Geometry) from University of Göttingen

Research Interests:
Merz bridges advanced mathematics with practical AI systems, focusing on Large Language Model functionality (ChatGPT, Llama), industrial AI integration, and mathematical foundations of machine learning. His work prioritizes real-world implementation of theoretical concepts in operational environments.

Publication Trends:
His research evolved from pure algebraic geometry (2017-2018 Newton-Okounkov body studies) to applied AI (2020-2021), demonstrating a strategic shift toward solving industrial scheduling problems through reinforcement learning and language model applications.

Scientific Awards:
No awards documented in available materials.

Advising and Grants:
Currently recruiting thesis students for ChatGPT projects with GIZ. Previously led Deutsche Bahn's "AI in Dispatching" initiative with ML engineering teams. Teaches core mathematics and specialized AI courses including ChatGPT and Machine Learning projects.

Teams and Committees:
Active in academic governance as Deputy Chair of Departmental Council, member of Commission for Good Scientific Practice, and Ethics Committee participant.
