Teaching

While I currently do not give any courses or advise any theses, I did so extensively until recently.

Seminars

From 2008 to 2014, I regularly advised 2–4 students in seminars, guiding them in their first steps towards conducting research, involving literature research and paper writing. In addition, we always organized our seminars in the style of conferences. After submitting their paper, students had to write reviews on two anonymized papers produced by their peers in the seminar, then go back to their own paper and address the reviews they received in turn. This gave them an insight into how scientific peer-reviewed work is produced, evaluated and published. Over the years, we received overwhelmingly positive from our students for this concept, and I suggest anybody who teaches seminars to try it out themselves if they have not done so yet!
