Barbara Hof

I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Lausanne, specializing in the history of science, technology, and media in the second half of the twentieth century. Part of this research forms my second book project; details of my current research, collaborations, and forthcoming first book are [linked here].

Thematically, my publications encompass topics from the history of cybernetics and computing to the study of scientific modeling, particle physics, radioisotope training, and thermonuclear fusion. I’ve been honored with two early career awards recognizing my broad range of work: one in the history of education and the other in the history of physics. My written work is [listed here].

I teach a seminar on the history of the Internet as a guest lecturer at Leuphana University Lüneburg. I’m also dedicated to offering innovative skills development programs; see [details here].

I earned my PhD from the University of Zurich in 2021 and previously ran my own screen-printing business in Biel/Bienne, where I also taught art, science, history, and languages. [Here] are more details on my career history.
