Teaching
I aim to educate students such that they become independent and responsible professionals, that can critically view their own and others’ work and that can incorporate their creativity when they go through the research cycle (proposing hypotheses, designing and executing experiments, interpreting and presenting the results, formulate conclusions and new hypotheses).
I am currently involved in two bachelor courses where I teach students quantitative and model-based approaches to analyze and improve biological and biotechnological processes.
