Teaching and enablement

Courses and supervision

My teaching rests on three principles: student autonomy, theory–practice integration, and learning by doing in digitally enabled environments. I use project-based and portfolio assessments that require students to document their thinking over the course.

I have supervised approximately 86 completed Bachelor's and Master's theses since 2015, with 7 ongoing, in person and fully remote.
