Lars Schewe

Lars Schewe is a researcher at the School of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh, specializing in optimization problems at the intersection of physical systems and political economy. He collaborates with institutions like Open Grid Europe (OGE) and the National Grid to model complex infrastructure systems.

• Educational Background: Joint undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Sociology; PhD in Discrete Geometry.

Research Focus: Optimization in real-world systems, particularly energy networks, balancing mathematical rigor with practical problem-solving. His work addresses non-linear physical laws and economic constraints in gas transport modeling.

Collaborations: Engages with interdisciplinary teams including economists and physical scientists. Mentors students like Jonah Aldridge and Joe Carstairs, who contributed to his academic interview series.
