– Visual Communication of Scientific Information –
…with expressive graphics and high quality images.
High-quality images are a key factor for communicating science elegantly and efficiently. The challenge is to develop attractive design solutions with high scientific accuracy. My name is Dr. Johannes Richers. I am a scientist and a designer.
Dr. Johannes Richers is a scientist and a designer. He received his academic education from the Technical University of Munich, Germany (B.Sc./M.Sc.), studied abroad at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia and worked as a visiting researcher with the Schlumberger Research Centre Cambridge, United Kingdom. In 2012, he joined the group of Konrad Tiefenbacher at the chair of organic chemistry at TUM for his doctoral studies in the field of organic synthesis (Dr. rer. nat.).
In 2017, Johannes moved to Berlin to study science marketing (M.Sc.) at the Technical University of Berlin as well as Design Thinking at the Hasso-Plattner-Institute in Potsdam and to start his independent career in the intersection of science, art and design. He was selected as Artist in Residence 2019 with Sonar+D × Factory Berlin and works as guest lecturer for science marketing at the Technical University of Berlin.
