Teaching Timeline
I am constantly teaching since 2003.
See Fig. 1 for an overview.
I am experienced in the teaching formats lecture,
lab course, seminar, student projects such as master/ bachelor/ diploma thesis, and
student assistant advisory.
In addition, I regularly develop and experiment with new teaching methods.
I invented a lab course format (2003), a conference-like seminar format (2013), and
a flipped classroom teaching concept (2014).

Awards
- Technische Universität München Teaching Award 2013
Highlights
Teaching is important and working with students a lot of fun for me.
Over more than ten years I am holding various course formats at German Universities
from lectures over practical exercises to the seminars.
In 2013, I was awarded with the faculty teaching award of the Computer Science
department of Technische Universität München for
my iLab teaching concept.
Since 2003, I designed and held various courses at
Technische Universität München and Universität Tübingen, including:
- I created the most
attended regular practical
exercise at the University of Tübingen as well as of the Technische
Universität München (more than 1800(!) participants until the end of 2016).
In 2013 the iLab-concept was awarded with the Ernst Otto Fischer-Lehrpreis (teaching
price) of Technische Universität München!
- I designed two practical hands-on courses that are continuously running at
multiple German Universities.
- I invented a didactical concept for practical hands-on courses that is tailored
around an exciting self-learning experience for students.
- I designed a two semester
lecture introduction to computer science lecture that I held in 2003/ 2004 at
University of Tübingen.
- I created and introduced
a new concept for seminars that
is organized like a scientific conference at Technische Universität München
in 2013.
- I created and established
a semi-automated workflow for recording student
talks and providing the result to the students within hours.
This is a uniquely strong feedback element for improving one's presentation skills.
The system is continuously used since 2011.
- I created and established
a research seminar for students that enables them to apply agile methods when organizing themselves.
The monthly student research seminar has the focus on fostering the exchange between students
and making them reflect on their achieved results and upcoming challenges regularly.
- I created and established
a research seminar for doctoral students and postdocs in my research domain.
The smart space research seminar takes place roughly every three months.
It has the goal to foster the research exchange between young and experienced researchers.
Besides discussing about each other's research, the seminar has a paper reading club
as fixed element.
- I created several final exams for lectures.
- I supervised more than 80 students until the end of 2016.
Teaching Activities
I started teaching as a student tutor in 2001. Since 2003 I am continuously giving lectures. Following my teaching activities are listed.

Lab Courses
The lab courses consist of a weekly lecture, individual theoretical preparation, a practical exercise day in a team of two students, two oral exams, and the correction of the exercises.

Seminars
Supervised Diploma, Master, and Bachelor Students
I guided many students to their Diploma, Master, and Bachelor thesis. It was
a great pleasure to work and exchange with each of them.
