Tobias Bretschneider

Tobias is passionate about interdisciplinary research that connects mathematical theory with real-world challenges. He greatly enjoyed studying mathematics at Balliol College, Oxford. Alongside a wide range of courses, he found tutoring younger students in various subjects especially rewarding. His research, supervised by Coralia Cartis, has focused on numerical optimisation, particularly Anderson acceleration. Tobias is particularly interested in applying mathematical techniques to climate science and modelling; the work on Anderson acceleration has promising applications to the “spin-up” problem in Earth system models.  

Outside his academics, he enjoys rowing and climbing and is also a keen music lover.
