I work as a senior researcher at the School of Professional Teacher Education at Jamk University of Applied Sciences. In my research, I utilize the strengths and methods of various disciplines. I am particularly enthusiastic about working as part of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research and development teams.
My tasks include promoting initiatives and projects related to learning technologies, digitalization, and learner-centered pedagogy. My research interests include, among other things, the application of simulation pedagogy in various fields and learning environments, as well as learning analytics. In my work, I strive to promote a closer and more effective integration of research and development and to support new research initiatives and collaborations across different fields.
