Top SchoolPatrick Barth is an astronomer and science communicator with eight years of research and administrative experience, currently supporting executive management at the SimTech Cluster of Excellence (University of Stuttgart) and coordinating its Pride in STEM action plan. He holds a PhD from the University of St Andrews, where his research probed the role of lightning in planetary atmospheres and its implications for chemistry and the origin of life through experiments and simulations. Patrick combines deep domain expertise in planetary physics, chemistry, and geology with practical project experience—from planetarium shows and a science-fiction co-authorship to co-organising a public exhibition on atmospheres and climate change. In his current role he contributes to long-term strategic planning, including preparing a follow-up funding proposal for SimTech’s next funding period. His profile blends rigorous academic research with hands-on outreach and inclusion work, making him effective at translating complex science for diverse audiences and institutional stakeholders.
