Short biography
Niklas Stausberg first studied Earth Sciences at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau and the University of Utrecht before earning his doctorate in 2017 working at the intersection of material sciences and geology at the University of Aarhus and the University of California, Davis. Subsequently, he continued to work as a research associate in Aarhus before transferring to a high school environment in 2019 as a Physics and Chemistry teacher, first in Denmark, later in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. During this time, he also obtained the second state examination for gymnasium and comprehensive schools. Since the fall of 2023, he has been working as a postdoctoral researcher in physics education at LMU Munich.
