Summary
Tobias Holzmann is an aerodynamics methods developer at AUDI AG with 13 years of CFD and simulation experience, combining industrial R&D roles with entrepreneurial software work. He founded Holzmann CFD in 2010 and has a track record of delivering OpenFOAM extensions and community-facing developments as an official contributor to The OpenFOAM Foundation. His background spans academia (PhD in simulation and modeling of metallurgical processes) and applied engineering across automotive, energy, and simulation service companies, giving him depth in both physics-driven modeling and practical deployment. Tobias is skilled at turning complex multiphysics problems into robust simulation workflows and reusable software tools. Based in Bad Wörishofen, Bavaria, he blends research rigor with product-minded engineering and still contributes code that benefits the wider OpenFOAM ecosystem. Unusually for an industry engineer, he maintains an active open-source presence that informs his method development work at scale.
