Timm Wilke, born in 1988, works as full professor for chemistry education at the Carl von Ossietzky Friedrich University Oldenburg.
From 2007 - 2012 he studied chemistry and french sciences at the Georg-August-University of Göttingen. As a scholarship holder of the Foundation of German Business, he finished his PhD studies (summa cum laude) in 2017. After research stays at Centre National de la Recherce Scientifique (Toulouse/France), Leibniz Institute for Science and Mathematics Education (Kiel/Germany) and Florida Institute of Technology (Melbourne/USA), he was appointed assistant professor at the University of Brunswick in 2016, and in 2019/2020 additionally guest professor at the University of Graz/Austria. From 2020 - 2023 he worked as full professor at the University of Jena.
His research is located in the intersection between chemistry and chemistry didactics where he mainly focuses on the reconstruction of current research fields for K-12 chemistry education. Two current fields of his interest are green chemistry and nanotechnology. The second focus of his research is the digitization of STEM education and the inclusion of AI. In this context, Timms workgroup developed a digital low cost measuring station for chemistry education and research.
