Stefan E. Schmidt

Fellow

Dr. Stefan E. Schmidt is CEO of the research company Phoenix Mathematical Systems Modeling, Inc. He is also a member of the graduate faculty of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at New Mexico State University (NMSU). For the past five years, he has served as Senior Research Scientist at NMSU's Physical Science Laboratory (PSL).

From fall 2004 to 2005, Dr. Schmidt was on a one-year professional leave from PSL to serve as visiting professor at the University of Technology in Dresden, Germany. Between 1995 and 2000, he held research appointments at the University of California, Berkeley (1995-98), the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (96/97), the Shannon Laboratory of AT&T (98/99) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1999-2000). Having been awarded a PhD at the University of Technology in Darmstadt, Germany in 1987, Stefan Schmidt was assistant professor until 1995 at Mainz University, Germany.

Stefan Schmidt’s scientific research ranges from discrete mathematics to applications in information sciences and network analysis. His expertise covers geometric algebra, order theory, combinatorics, formal concept analysis and reflexive theory applied to communication networks, agent modeling and systems of systems analysis. His recent work includes modeling and simulating terrorist recruitment via reflexive theory as well as border protection via reflexive control. He is currently involved in a long-term research project on the stock market (as a market of markets).
