Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTobias Schwedes is a Principal Research Scientist based in London with 11 years’ experience applying advanced statistical and machine learning methods to real-world problems across industry and research. After a steady progression through roles at Faculty—from Data Scientist to Principal Research Scientist—he now focuses on product-facing research that bridges probabilistic modelling, optimization and deployable ML systems. His background includes a PhD in Computational Statistics from Imperial College and applied work at the Met Office and in finance, where he built predictive trading tools and bespoke sampling algorithms for physical models. Tobias combines rigorous academic training with hands-on delivery, frequently turning complex inference problems into practical, production-ready solutions. Notably, he has experience designing algorithms that estimate hidden system dynamics from partial observations—a recurring theme across his research and consulting projects.
