Hi! I’m Tim, a marine biologist, plastic pollution researcher and citizen science consultant.
I dedicate myself to create more open research environments, allowing people from the public to contribute to science.
I currently work as a freelancer at Opaki – Participation in Research Through Design.
You can hire me for workshops or as a consultant to help you open up your research for public participation.
Portfolio and projects
Workshop ⚙️ ‘Citizen Science – Open up Your Research through Public Participation!’ conducted for the Wissenschaftliche Weiterbildung at Kiel University (8th September 2026). The slides can be found on zenodo.
We founded Opaki 🥳 Together with friends I founded an organization for visual science communication, citizen science and clean and neat data tools. We want to open up science. You can read more about us on our website.
Feasibility study 📝 I interviewed teachers and citizen science experts to identify paths forward for participatory research involving school students in Germany. The study can be accessed on zenodo (in German).
