Hi, I am a teacher and PhD student in Engineering at Linköping University who is interested in higher education pedagogy. My educator “career” started as lab- and seminar assistant and resulted later in full course responsibility. Apart from my ordinary teaching I also work at my university at a pedagogical support unit called Didacticum which offers help, guidance, training and workshops to all our teachers.
Beside my main research in the field of Thermodynamics, I also executed some pedagogical studies which resulted in two conference articles [1], [2] so far. Just now my pedagogical area of interest is to investigate further in detail how modern visualization tools such as Augmented- (AR) and Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) can support Engineering students in learning complex machines such as aircraft or gas turbines.
So, that was a short about me! And now I am looking forward to start the course and meet other interesting colleagues from all over the world.
