In 2002, he received a Faculty Award for his PhD thesis on knowledge exchange. Since 2008, he is at the Leibniz-Institut fur Wissensmedien (IWM) where he became Deputy Head of the Knowledge Exchange Lab in 2012. He also coordinated the scientific development of the Leibniz-WissenschaftsCampus Tubingen Informational Environments (2010-2017) and the Leibniz-WissenschaftsCampus Tubingen Cognitive Interfaces (since 2017). Friedrich W. Hesse studied psychology at the Universities of Marburg and Dusseldorf, received his doctorate at the RWTH Aachen and qualified as Professor of Psychology at the University of Goettingen. He was research fellow at the Learning Research and Development Center (LRDC) and at the Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. He was Head of the Department of Applied Cognitive Science at the German Institute of Research for Distance Education (DIFF) and for two years director at the Laboratoire Europeen de Recherche sur les Apprentissages et les Nouvelles Technologies (LERANT) in France funded by CNRS. He is the Founding Director of the Leibniz-Institut fur Wissensmedien (IWM) and at present Head of the Knowledge Exchange Lab.
