I consider myself a teaching aficionado. I thrive that my passion for teaching inspire my students and online learners!
For me, learning is one of the most formative experiences a person can encounter. And it is not only the content, but also the motivation and setting of the message and, maybe equally important, the form of the message that decides the degree of formativeness. Whenever possible, I motivate the content with examples to show the students the need of the content in their daily life, but also in their future careers. I believe probability and statistical literacy should be mandatory skills for a better grasp of the world. As for the form of the message, my approach is to engage students in active learning.

I am happy to see that my overall approach to teaching is well received by students. This is a message received from a student: “I'm very happy about this university as I'm often reminded by wonderful professors like you who don't just push students to focus on the grades and actually get a grasp of why the subject matters and how we can apply it in our fields.”
Over the years, I have delivered tailored teaching for institutions, companies and professionals to introduce structured expert judgment for quantifying uncertainty and enhanced decision-making, and Bayesian Networks. Are you interested in more information? Please feel free to contact me.
