teaching

I really enjoy teaching, viewing it as both privilege and responsibility of being an academic. I have been fortunate to be a teaching assistant in various formats at universities on three continents. I have received great evaluations from students and always strive to improve. In addition to being a teaching assistant, I have also organized and held educational workshops at a variety of different venues. On this page, you can find an overview of my teaching experience as well as some materials I have generated.
