I am a huge fan of sharing my knowledge and experience with the next generation of scientists and young professionals. Therefore, when the opportunity arises, I am always thrilled to give talks, seminars, workshops, or lectures about scientific and non-scientific (career-related) topics. Below you’ll be able to find an overview of my teaching portfolio, a list of selected lecture and workshop topics I am thrilled to teach, and my teaching statement.
