Teaching

I structure my courses with a focus on problem-based learning, emphasizing student engagement through simulations, group projects, and immersive activities relevant to the topic at hand. Integrating experiences from applied projects, I connect theoretical concepts with practical applications. As much as possible, I organize the classroom to function like a workshop, alternating between brief lectures and simulations. This approach encourages learners to collaborate and apply systems thinking to achieve common objectives.
