Senior🎓
Top SchoolTobias Siegfried is a water-resources expert and entrepreneur who co-founded hydrosolutions Ltd. to deliver innovative water management solutions for global drylands, drawing on over two decades of interdisciplinary research and applied work. He holds MSc degrees in Environmental Physics (ETH Zurich) and International Relations (LSE) and completed a PhD on optimal allocation and sharing mechanisms for transboundary groundwater, with applied projects from North Africa to peninsular India and Central Asia. Tobias has blended academia and practice as a postdoc and adjunct professor at Columbia and as a lecturer at ETH, translating satellite remote sensing, digital information systems, and community-based monitoring into policy-relevant tools used by clients like the World Bank and FAO. Known for tackling non-cooperative groundwater use and flood risk in politically complex basins, he brings both rigorous modeling experience and on-the-ground implementation skills. An oft-overlooked strength is his ability to bridge technical, political, and institutional perspectives—making technical innovations actionable for governments and development agencies.
