Leipzig, Saxony, Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilli Schimmel is a postdoctoral researcher in Leipzig with nine years of experience at the intersection of applied mathematics and atmospheric science. He holds an M.Sc. in Applied Mathematics and a Doctor of Science in Meteorology, and has developed numerical solvers and machine learning models for complex atmospheric problems, from reducing large chemical-kinetic ODE systems to using neural networks to infer liquid cloud layers from radar and lidar data. At TROPOS he combines rigorous mathematical methods with pragmatic tool development for active sensing datasets, bringing a hands-on engineering mindset rooted in earlier industrial machine-building experience. Willi’s work bridges theory and application: he translates abstract mathematical concepts into bespoke algorithms that address measurement limitations in atmospheric observation. Colleagues describe him as a problem-driven researcher who enjoys crafting tailored, data-driven solutions rather than one-size-fits-all models.
