The Educator Blog

Welcome to my academic travel log—where serious topics meet questionable coffee, historic venues, and just enough AI talk to make your toaster nervous. Let’s dive into the events that kept my calendar full and my curiosity fuelled.

Prof. Dr. Thorsten Fröhlich

Thorsten Fröhlich, a professor at IU International University, has been a persistent force in entrepreneurship since 1991. His academic roots trace back to the University of Cologne, where he studied Chemistry and obtained a PhD for his research on application-oriented computational models for chemical multicomponent analysis using spectroscopy. Parallel to his academic pursuit, he ventured into the entrepreneurial realm by launching a scientific software company, providing advanced solutions in analytical evaluation and laboratory information systems for several years.
In 2000, Prof. Fröhlich manifested his entrepreneurial acumen by initiating and developing information portals such as chemie.de, chemeurope.com, and bionity.com with students from Freie Universität Berlin. His motivation resides in reconciling information technology and business, a vision reflected in his teaching areas at IU International University. As a lecturer in IT Management, Big Data, AI in Business, and the application of computational models to various business applications, he has supervised and co-examined over 300 theses, often in collaboration with his colleague, Markus Hemmer.
