Tobias Breiten

Prof. Dr. Tobias Breiten is a Professor of Mathematics at Technische Universität Berlin, affiliated with Faculty II - Mathematics and Natural Sciences and the Institute of Mathematics. His research focuses on model reduction, control theory, and numerical methods for complex systems.

• Education: Diploma in Technomathematik (2009, TU Kaiserslautern), PhD in Mathematics (2013, Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg), Habilitation (2018, University of Graz).
• Roles: Associate Professor (2019-2020, University of Graz), Junior Professor (2020-2022, TU Berlin), Full Professor since 2022.

Research interests include structure-preserving model reduction, nonlinear observer design, and optimal control of port-Hamiltonian systems. He leads projects on topics like thermoacoustic spectra and nonlinear control perspectives.

Notable publications include works on H2 optimal rational approximation, balanced truncation methods, and Mortensen observer theory. His work often bridges numerical analysis and systems theory.
