Dr. Ingo Barth studied physics at the Technical University of Berlin from 1996 to 2004. He then became the first Deaf person to complete his doctoral dissertation in theoretical chemistry at the Free University of Berlin in 2009. From 2009 to 2014, he worked as a research assistant, first at Freie Universität Berlin, then at the Max Born Institute in Berlin, and finally at Leibniz University Hannover. From 2014 to 2021, he led a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Microstructure Physics in Halle (Saale).

During this time, from 2019 to 2022, he was also responsible for the Sign2MINT project, which developed a specialized sign language dictionary for STEM subjects, also at the Max Planck Institute in Halle. In 2022, he served as a Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., USA. Since 2023, he has been working as a risk controller at KfW in Frankfurt am Main.
