Dr Tobias Keller

From to Tobias Keller completed his BSc in Earth Sciences (2003-2006) and MSc in Geophysics (2007-2009) at ETH Zurich where he continued to defend his PhD thesis on numerical modelling of magma ascent ant emplacement in 2013. The following six years were spent with two placements as postdoctoral research associate at the University of Oxford (2013-2016) and Stanford University (2016-2019). 

In 2019, Dr. Tobias Keller took up a position as Lecturer in Computational Geosciences at the University of Glasgow. There he started the Magma Matters Research Lab, a small group of researchers leveraging computational modelling and machine learning tools to study magmatic and volcanic processes on Earth and other planetary bodies.

After spending the years 2021-2023 working as a senior scientist at ETH Zurich while retaining an Affiliate Lectureship at the University of Glasgow, Dr. Tobias Keller took up his current position as Associate Professor in Geosciences in the School of Ocean and Earth Science at the University of Southampton.

In 2020, Dr. Tobias Keller received the Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award from the Geodynamics Division of the European Geosciences Union for his "multidisciplinary frontier research on some of the most challenging problems related to the generation, transport, and emplacement of magmas using the tools of numerical modelling".
