Ich bin Postdoktorand in der Physikdidaktik an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main. Meine Arbeit befasst sich mit digitalen Werkzeugen, kollaborativem Lernen und Assessment im naturwissenschaftlichen Unterricht, insbesondere im Kontext von Elektrizitätslehre und Lehrkräftebildung.

Meine Forschung untersucht, wie digitale Werkzeuge Unterrichtsgespräche, konzeptuelles Verständnis und Assessment in der Physikdidaktik unterstützen können. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der digitalen Unterstützung mündlicher Gruppenarbeit, der Entwicklung von Repräsentationskompetenz, analogiebasiertem Lernen zu elektrischen Stromkreisen sowie der Verbindung von fachphysikalischer und fachdidaktischer Ausbildung für angehende Physiklehrkräfte.
