Ulrich Schmid

Prof. Ulrich Schmid is a full professor at TU Wien, affiliated with the Forschungsbereich Embedded Computing Systems. His research focuses on distributed systems, fault-tolerant computing, and asynchronous algorithms. He leads projects like 'Asynchronous Distributed Algorithms in the Theta-Model' and 'Gracefully Degrading Agreement in Directed Dynamic Networks.' Prof. Schmid has received honors at TU Wien and actively supervises numerous students in PhD and Master's programs.

His academic work spans theoretical foundations (e.g., epistemic logic in Byzantine systems) and practical applications (e.g., digital circuit delay modeling). Key contributions include hybrid delay models for integrated circuits and formal verification frameworks for timed circuits. Collaborations involve institutions like the Institut für Technische Informatik and the E191-02 research group.

• Notable research areas: Byzantine fault tolerance, consensus protocols, and embedded systems
• Leadership in 4 major projects addressing distributed computing challenges
• Recipient of TU Wien honors (2021)

Prof. Schmid's lab emphasizes bridging theoretical computer science with hardware-software co-design, producing over 220 publications and 10+ supervised theses since 2000.
