In my teaching I invite my students on a journey together that starts with a range of diverse cases and ends with a deep understanding of relevant patterns and problems. On the way, we question under what conditions these problems will arise, what might drive their emergence as well as what could be viable solutions.

Other than a comprehensive, multi-layered course design and good preparation, I apply humor and storytelling liberally in my courses, thinking of these as my secret teaching ingredients. In my quest to create a rich and memorable student learning experience I like to experiment with gamification and other tools to make learning more immersive and more fun.
