Marvin Rost

Dr. Marvin Rost is a Researcher at the Chair of Chemistry Education at the Technical University of Munich since February 2025. He holds a Dr. rer. nat. in Chemistry Education from Humboldt University of Berlin and has served as a University Assistant (Postdoc) at the University of Vienna. His research focuses on model use in chemistry education, digital experimentation, and epistemological foundations of scientific reasoning.

• Education: Master of Education in Chemistry & Philosophy (Berlin), Bachelor of Science in Chemistry & Ethics (Berlin), Chemisch-Technischer Assistent (Berlin), Chemielaborant (Bayer AG)

Research Themes: Marvin’s work combines computational grounded theory, latent variable modeling, and Natural Language Processing to analyze reflective practices in technology-integrated chemistry teaching, replication studies in higher education, and epistemic artifacts in scientific reasoning. His recent publications emphasize gamification, model interpretation, and assessment design.

Scientific Contributions: Marvin has published in journals like Journal of Science Education and Technology and Chemistry Teacher International, with a monograph on model-based knowledge acquisition in secondary chemistry education. His methodological focus includes causal analysis, NLP, and Item Response Theory.

Projects: Involved in initiatives like DigiProMIN, EuroTeQ, and Teach@TUM, Marvin develops digital teaching materials such as DEANs (Digital Experimentation Assistants) and LEGO titration robots.
