Stefanie Schneider is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Art History at LMU Munich. With an academic background in Statistics, Computer Science, and Sociology, she earned her PhD in Art History in 2024. Since 2016, she has been active in the field of Digital Humanities, exploring the intersection of traditional hermeneutic approaches and contemporary quantitative methods in art-historical enquiry. Her first book, Art and the Artificial Eye: Algorithmic Views of the Human Posture (2025), investigated the utilization of computational methodologies to construct a virtual space of associations, references, and similarities for the historical embedding of the human figure, and its posture, in visual art. Her work has received several awards, including an honorary mention in the 2023 European Union Prize for Citizen Science, and has been featured in leading academic venues such as IEEE, ACM, and ADHO. She is a member of the Association for Digital Humanities in the German-speaking Countries (DHd) and the Working Group for Digital Art History.
