Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhilipp Germann is an Operations Research Specialist based in Bern with 11 years of experience applying computational modeling and optimization to large, real-world systems. At SBB Cargo he builds end-to-end optimization models that span timetable design, routing, locomotive and crew rostering, and real-time booking allocation, enabling strategic decisions and scalable operational automation. His earlier academic work—developing GPU-accelerated 3D agent-based models of tissue morphogenesis and statistical models of immune-cell behavior—demonstrates a rare combination of high-performance computing and quantitative biology. Philipp brings a physicist’s rigor to messy operational problems, translating complex constraints into efficient, production-ready algorithms. Outside work he’s a photographer and paragliding aerobatics enthusiast, reflecting a taste for technical precision and creative risk-taking.
