Summary
Tobi Kattmann is a simulation engineer and system developer with nine years of experience building CFD/CHT and heat-transfer software, now driving algorithm development for ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology in Berlin. He combines a PhD-level background in computational optimization and adjoint-based methods with hands-on solver and GPU kernel development from startup to enterprise contexts. His work spans full simulation workflows—CAD, mesh generation, solver implementation, testing, validation and performance tuning—with notable contributions integrating multi-physics adjoints into open-source solvers like SU2. Tobi pairs academic rigor (Dr.-Ing. in Computer Science) with practical product collaboration across design, frontend and sales teams, and has implemented thermal models for batteries and optimized heat-exchanger designs for industry. He also brings a business-information-systems perspective to engineering and maintains active open-source and ERP-related interests, reflecting a rare mix of scientific computing depth and product-oriented systems thinking.
