Florian Schuberth is an Associate Professor at the Chair of Product–Market Relations. His research focuses on exploiting the untapped potential of composites in the context of structural equation modeling. In addition to his research activities, Florian Schuberth is a passionate and enthusiastic teacher. He currently coordinates and teaches several courses on quantitative research methods.
Florian Schuberth received his Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Economics and his Master's degree in Economics from the University of Würzburg, Germany. In 2017, he completed his PhD at the Chair of Econometrics (Prof. Dr. Kukuk) of the same university with "summa cum laude".
Making his research openly available is an important issue for Florian Schuberth. Therefore, he has developed the R package cSEM, which allows researchers to perform PLS in R. For more information, see his GitHub profile and the Open Science Framework. In 2022 Florian Schuberth decided to take a more active role in the Open Science movement and became coordinator of the Open Science Community Twente.

Florian Schuberth's research focuses on structural equation modeling (SEM) and particularly on exploiting the untapped potential of composites in this context. Florian Schuberth's developments include Confirmatory Composite Analysis and the Henseler-Ogasawara specification to flexibly model composites in SEM. Moreover, Florian Schuberth has improved various methods. For example, he enhanced the HTMT used for discriminant validity assessment, known as HTMT2 and he modified partial least squares path modeling (PLS-PM), a widely used estimator for structural equation models, to deal with ordinal variables. Further, Florian Schuberth critically discusses statistical methods. As a result, he has co-authored several commentaries.
