Teaching

During my academic career, I taught courses and advised theses on (almost) all levels in the context of computer science. I independently designed a course named Distributed Information Management, which is part of the interdisciplinary curriculum Digitalization-Innovation-Society and the cross-factulty initiative Computer Science Skills for All at the University of Salzburg. Finally, I gained international teaching experience by teaching at the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P).
