Daniel Schmitt honored with the Young Investigators Award of the University of Salzburg

On the Day of Teaching, at the end of November 2025, Dipl.-Ing. BSc Daniel Ulrich Schmitt, one of our Ph.D. students, was honored with the University of Salzburg’s Young Investigators Award.

With this award, the University recognizes outstanding dissertation projects and sends a strong signal in support of emerging scholars and researchers.

The prize is awarded in six categories. These categories correspond to the six faculties and thus cover the broad spectrum of research at the University of Salzburg. From a total of 35 submissions, the juries selected first-, second-, and third-place winners in each thematic group.

Mr. Schmitt impressed the jury in the group “Research on the Data-Driven Digital and Analytical World” with his research topic “Efficient, Extensible, and Robust Similarity Queries.”
