Newly developed modules
Based on pilots with 'Introduction to Relativity' Course, I developed in 2012 a new 15-credit module 'Foundations of Modern Physics' (Y1, S2) with modern problem-based learning workshops using round tables and the electronic submission of handwritten homework. Since 2015, I am teaching 'Advanced Quantumphysics' (Y4, S1) where I introduced active learning elements based on 'Quantum Labs', I also introduced new 'Quantum Clinic' workshops with multiple feedback options for the students encouraging team work.
Deputy Director of Postgraduate Research & Supervising PhD students and acting as academic advisor
Since many years, I am supervising PhD students. From 2015-2017, I was the Deputy Director of Postgraduate Research for Particle Physics, where I modernised the whole system with a strong focus to enhance feedback to the PGR students. I am an academic adviser since 2008.
