Teaching & Supervision

Teaching

In fall/winter 2024, I am co-teaching the course “Informatik und Gesellschaft” AKA “Information Governance” at TU Berlin. (This is a mandatory course for Bachelor students studying Computer Science and Business Informatics).

In 2023, I’ve guest lectured at Göttingen University on Problems of Technology for Society (part of the Bachelor of Data Science program), and at Erfurt University on “AI for the Public Interest” (part of the bachelor course “Künstliche Intelligenz als Herausforderung der Demokratie”). In 2022, I taught the course AI in Society and Economics at the Digital Business University Berlin (part of the Master of Data Science program).

In previous years, I taught the following technology policy courses at TU Delft:

  • MOT1452—Inter- and Intra- Organizational Decision Making: 2016-2020 (course manager & main instructor)
  • MOT2004—Preparation for Master Thesis: 2019-2020 (digital economy theme)
  • SEN1311—CoSEM Research Challenges: 2018 (privacy engingeering theme)
  • EPA1101—International Grand Challenges: 2017 (privacy governance theme)

I have also taught at the MEAC Summer School on Internet Governance (organized by RIPE, ISOC, ICANN, and others): 2018 (Cairo) and 2019 (Rabat). In the distant past, I was a trainer for the Cisco Certified Network Associate certification.

I will be in the near future offering some new thesis research topics.
