About

Anke Pfeiffer is a leading researcher in digital education and the Internet of Things (IoT), with a focus on transforming laboratory learning for the next generation of engineers and scientists. Her work centers on the development of digital lab environments that equip students with essential competencies for the IoT era, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical, hands-on skills. Pfeiffer’s most-cited paper, “Digital Laboratories for Educating the IoT-Generation Heatmap for Digital Lab Competences” (2020, 10 citations), provides a foundational framework for mapping and assessing the skills needed in modern, technology-driven labs. This contribution has been instrumental in guiding educators and institutions in designing curricula that prepare learners for real-world IoT challenges. By integrating digital tools and pedagogical innovation, Pfeiffer’s research helps shape how future professionals interact with complex, interconnected systems. Her work is particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring the intersection of education, technology, and industry demands, offering a clear roadmap for developing the digital competences essential in today’s rapidly evolving landscape.
