Prof. Dr. Maria A. Wimmer leads the E-Government research group at the University of Koblenz's Institute for Business and Administrative Information Systems. Her research examines digital transformation in public sector contexts, focusing on interoperability frameworks, smart city initiatives, public procurement modernization, and data governance models.

Current projects address regulatory compliance in EU public procurement, explainable AI for policy analysis, pandemic response evaluation using Bayesian methods, and citizen engagement strategies for smart cities. Her work emphasizes semantic modeling for government architectures, data integration across procurement lifecycles, and overcoming barriers to SME participation in digital procurement systems.

Recent publications demonstrate interdisciplinary approaches combining public administration theory with technical implementations in AI, data science, and information systems to address governance challenges in digital transformation.
