Marcus Schmidt serves as Professor for Administrative Digitization in the Department of Administrative Sciences at Harz University of Applied Sciences. He coordinates the Bachelor's program in Administrative Digitization and Informatics (both full-time and dual formats) and participates in university governance as a member of the Senate ICT Commission and Admissions Committee for the Master's program in Public Management. His institutional affiliations include the National E-Government Competence Center (NEGZ), German Computer Science Society, and Administrative Board of the Magdeburg Student Union. Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology Master of Science in Information Technology Doctorate in ECG Signal Processing during Magnetic Resonance Imaging Professor Schmidt's research focuses on the practical implementation of digital technologies in public administration. His work addresses critical challenges facing government institutions, particularly the application of artificial intelligence to mitigate skilled worker shortages and enhance administrative efficiency through optimized digital processes. He investigates how AI can analyze standards and improve service delivery in governmental contexts, with emphasis on practical implementation rather than theoretical exploration. His research bridges technical possibilities with administrative realities, focusing on solutions that can be deployed in actual government settings. Schmidt's recent publications demonstrate a clear transition from biomedical engineering (primarily 2015-2017) to public administration digitization (2024-2025). His current work centers on AI applications in government services, particularly chatbots for citizen interaction, digital identity systems, and the educational requirements for future public administrators. The research shows strong regional focus on Saxony-Anhalt while addressing national German administrative challenges through the lens of the Online Access Act (OZG) and federal information management frameworks. As an academic supervisor, Professor Schmidt has guided numerous bachelor's and master's theses on topics including AI implementation in municipal administration, digital process optimization, e-voting systems, and knowledge management in government agencies. His students have examined practical applications across various German governmental levels, from local municipalities to federal agencies, with particular emphasis on Saxony-Anhalt institutions. His supervision portfolio reflects the evolving challenges of public sector digital transformation, with recent theses addressing emerging issues like AI competency development and workforce implications of digital change.
