from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stefan Schwarzer (* 1981 in Vechta ) is a German chemist and chemistry didactic.

Career

Schwarzer studied chemistry from 2002 to 2007 at the Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldenburg and graduated with a diploma. From 2007 to 2010 he worked on his dissertation in Mathias Wickleder's group and did his doctorate on novel sulfates of platinum and rare earth metals. In the meantime he did his internship at Monash University , Melbourne , Australia.

In 2010 he joined the IPN Kiel as a postdoctoral fellow , Dept. of Chemical Didactics ( Ilka Parchmann ) and in 2016 became head of the junior research group “Didactic research in school laboratories ” at the Kiel Science Outreach Campus (KiSOC). At the same time he worked as a chemistry teacher at two schools in Kiel.

In 2016, he was offered a W1 professorship for teaching and learning research at the chemistry school laboratory at the Technical University of Braunschweig , which he turned down. From 2016 to 2017 he was a substitute professor for chemistry education at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . He has been Professor of Chemistry Didactics at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich since 2017, and in 2019 he was offered a W3 professorship for Chemistry Didactics at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen , which he accepted in 2020.
