Education and career
Schmid was a high school student at St.-Thomas-Gymnasium Wettenhausen. She studied psychology at the Erziehungswissenschaftlichen Hochschule Landau (which became part of the University of Koblenz and Landau and later the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau) and at Technische Universität Berlin, earning a diploma through TU Berlin in 1989. Following this, she continued at TU Berlin, studying computer science. She earned both a second diploma and a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) in 1994,[2] with a dissertation jointly supervised by computer scientist Bernd Mahr and psychologist Klaus Eyferth.[2][3] She completed a habilitation through TU Berlin in 2002.[2]
After postdoctoral research at Carnegie Mellon University,[4] Schmid worked as an assistant professor at TU Berlin from 1994 until 2001, and as a lecturer at Osnabrück University from 2001 to 2004. She took her present position as a professor at the University of Bamberg in 2004, and served as dean of the Faculty of Information Systems and Applied Computer Sciences from 2017 to 2019.[2]
Recognition
Schmid is a Fellow of the European Association for Artificial Intelligence,[5] elected in 2022.[4][6] In 2023, she was named as a Fellow of the German Informatics Society, honoring her interdisciplinary research combining psychology and computer science, her work in primary school computer science education, and her position as a role model for young women in computer science.[7]
