Wolfram Barfuss is a sustainability system scientist with a doctoral degree in theoretical physics from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and the Humboldt University Berlin (2019). Before joining ZEF in 2023, he was a postdoctoral scientist at the Tübingen AI Center at the University of Tübingen (2021-2023), the School of Mathematics at the University of Leeds (2020-2021), and the Max Planck Insitute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig (2019-2020).

Barfuss heads the Argelander chair of the University of Bonn's Transdisciplinary Research Area (TRA) Sustainable Futures. The Argelander professorships are high-profile tenure-track assistant professor positions newly created within the scope of the German Excellence Initiative. The research focus is Integrated System Modeling for Sustainability Transitions. The BarfussLab is a young, strongly evolving, interdisciplinary team crossing the boundaries of various research fields to identify critical leverage points to tackle collective action challenges for sustainability. How? Through collective learning for a sustainable future. Barfuss's work has been published in numerous high-profile academic journals and is occasionally taken up by the media.

Wolfram Barfuss is a founding member of the Earth Resilience and Sustainability Initiative, a joint undertaking led by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Princeton University, and the Stockholm Resilience Centre. He is also a member of the German Physical Society, the TRAs Modeling and Individuals and Societies, the Center for Earth System Observation and Computational Analysis (CESOC), and the Cluster of Excellence PhenoRob.
