My area of expertise in a word

... and my motivation for teaching there:

Visualising information – every day we receive so much information that it is essential to organise it visually. This helps us to understand the information more quickly, more easily and more effectively.

Why choose HM?

My wish was to teach at a University of Applied Sciences. The combination of theory and practice offers a welcome change in terms of imparting knowledge and interacting with students. What’s more, I studied at the HM myself back then. It was a wonderful time.

My highlight of the year

I find it hard to single out one highlight. 2024 was a very exciting year, both professionally and personally. My new appointment as a Professor at HM certainly counts among them.
