Teaching Pedagogy

I am a strong believer that people learn best if they are interested in the subject. To encourage interests in the topics, I develop bespoke lecture notes, integrating my own research results as well as the current developments to make the course materials up to date and relavant. I also make the lecture notes self-contained, to facilitate independent learning.
