Johannes has taught at Organic Electronics Saxony and other institutions.

Johannes' most recent work experience is with Heliatek GmbH, where they have been employed since 2016. Johannes initially served as an Integration Engineer until 2018, and then progressed to the role of Senior Expert Integration Engineer in 2019.

Johannes Widmer has a strong educational background in physics. Johannes obtained their Diplom degree, which is equivalent to a Master of Science, from Technische Universität Dresden. Johannes completed this degree from 2002 to 2009. Later, they pursued further education and obtained a Doctorate degree (Dr. rer. nat.) in Physics from the same university, which they completed from 2010 to 2013.

In addition to their formal education, Widmer has also obtained multiple certifications. Johannes participated in the Future Career Program - Business offered by the Graduate Academy at TU Dresden. Johannes also received training in group moderation as a leadership skill from the Graduate Academy. Furthermore, Widmer has received certifications in inter-cultural integration of international students from TU Dresden, printing technologies for functional printing from Organic Electronics Saxony, project management from the Graduate Academy, property rights applications from the Patentinformationszentrum at TU Dresden, and the Ready for the Job certification jointly offered by TU Dresden and Dresden International University.
