„As scientists we focus on the results, as trainers we focus on the process.“

Dr. Schiller is a habilitated chemist and successful group leader (Priv.-Doz. at University of Jena, schiller-chemistry.de). Dr. Schiller gathered a 20-years teaching experience at LMU Munich (D), EPF Lausanne (CH), UC Santa Cruz (USA), and FSU Jena (D, “Lehr-Zertifikat Advanced”, habilitation in 2015, Venia legendi in inorganic chemistry). In addition, he is a “Certified Facilitator” and “Certified Advanced Coach” with the concept of www.thiagi.com, one of the world’s best concepts in interactive learning. His company, Schiller & Mertens (scientistsneedmore.de), has trained over 7000 scientists worldwide in hundreds of seminars, coachings, consultings and lectures since 2011 (member in “Berufsverband für Training, Beratung und Coaching”, BDVT).

The DFG Heisenberg fellow Dr. Schiller was a junior professor from 2009 to 2017. He has authored more than 40 publications. He was granted more than € 1.75 Mio funding and is involved in several EU and DFG projects, e.g. ITN “LogicLab” (logiclab-itn.eu) and research unit FOR 1738 “Heme and heme degradation products” (hhdp.uni-jena.de). Dr. Schiller’s experience as researcher and group leader enables him to focus on the real needs of scientists. Moreover, he uses examples from everyday life in research. From his courses given so far, graduate students, postdocs, junior group leaders, lecturers, professors, and directors feedback that they can directly apply in everyday life what they learned in his workshops.
