Professor of Mathematics, Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP), University of Cambridge

Anders was a von Kármán instructor at California Institute of Technology from 2008 to 2009, held a junior research fellowship at Homerton College, Cambridge from 2009 to 2012, and held a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions fellowship at the University of Vienna in 2012. Since 2012, he has held a Royal Society University Research Fellowship (URF) at the University of Cambridge, where he is now a professor at the Faculty of Mathematics, University of Cambridge and a Bye-Fellow of Peterhouse.

Among other results, he has established the Solvability Complexity Index (SCI) and its following classification hierarchy. It is linked to Steve Smale's question on the existence of iterative convergent algorithms for polynomial root finding answered by Curt McMullen and Peter Doyle, as well as Alan Turing's work and the Arithmetical hierarchy.
