Stefan Schneider

Stefan Schneider is a researcher at the University of Geneva, affiliated with the Groupe Systèmes Energétiques and Institut Forel since 2014. He holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics (1994) focused on numerical methods for differential equations and previously worked in R&D at Deram SA (banking software) from 2000-2013. His current research spans energy systems modeling, including territorial heat demand analysis, electricity consumption decomposition, and evaluation of innovative energy solutions for urban environments.

• Academic Affiliation: University of Geneva (Institut Forel, Groupe Systèmes Energétiques)
• Industry Experience: R&D at Deram SA (banking software, 2000-2013)
• Education: PhD in Applied Mathematics (1994)

Research interests focus on energy demand modeling, district heating systems, and techno-economic analysis of urban energy solutions. He contributes to projects with industrial partners like Service Industriels de Genève (SIG), including geothermal heat pumps, energy efficiency atlases, and temperature reduction strategies for district heating networks. His earlier work in population genetics (1995-2002) led to the Arlequin software package, widely adopted in genetic data analysis.

Recent publications (2017-2025) emphasize building energy modeling, heat demand forecasting, and sustainable urban infrastructure. While no explicit awards or advisees are mentioned, his interdisciplinary career bridges mathematics, computational methods, and applied energy systems research.
