I teach university pedagogical courses together with other pedagogical experts. At the School of Engineering, my responsibilities include the assessment and development of teaching skills as well as pedagogical support for program management and teachers.
I'm especially interested in evidence-based pedagogical development, advancing learning centricity and being a part of renewing our learning culture at Aalto. Inclusion in teaching and learning as well as student, PhD researcher and teacher wellbeing and research in pedagogy in higher education are close to my heart.
