Lecturing

 

For years, teaching mathematics in general and probability theory in particular has been an important and enjoyable part of my academic life. At Paderborn University (Germany), I am an authorized examiner. I have organized and been lecturing the following courses in my own responsibility:

  • Winter 2024/25: Elements of Mathematics: Graph Theory (advanced course for prospective teachers)
  • Summer 2024: Mathematics for Economists IV (introduction to probability theory and mathematical finance)

In summer 2024, I was guiding a teaching assistant, who took care of the exercise classes. In the current winter term, I am instructing the problem sessions myself.

 

Teaching Assistance

During my time as a scientific assistant at the Technical University of Darmstadt (Germany) from 10/2018 to 03/2024, the vast majority of my time was devoted to teaching (cf. the job profile in the Education & Positions section).

In 11/2023, I was awarded with the 2023 Departmental Athene Award for Good Teaching in Mathematics by the Carlo and Karin Giersch foundation at TU Darmstadt, based on a recommendation of the student council of mathematics and by decision of the university senate.

As a teaching assistant, I was responsible for the following courses:

  • Winter 2023/24: Statistics for Business, Economics and Cognitive Science (lecturer: Frank Aurzada)
  • Summer 2023: Introduction to Stochastics (lecturer: Robert Haller)
  • Winter 2022/23: Statistics for Business, Economics and Cognitive Science (lecturer: Frank Aurzada)
  • Summer 2022: Measure and Integration Theory (lecturer: Robert Haller)
  • Winter 2021/22: Probability Theory (lecturer: Frank Aurzada)
  • Summer 2021: Introduction to Stochastics (lecturer: Frank Aurzada)
  • Winter 2020/21: Probability Theory (lecturer: Volker Betz)
  • Summer 2020: Statistics of Stochastic Processes (lecturer: Cornelia Wichelhaus)
  • Winter 2019/20: Stochastic Processes I (lecturer: Frank Aurzada)
  • Summer 2019: Analysis II (lecturer: Steffen Roch)
  • Winter 2018/19: Analysis I (lecturer: Steffen Roch)

In these courses, I created weekly exercise sheets, taught exercise classes (for courses of up to 750 students as well as for small groups of around 20), managed teams of up to 14 student assistants, offered office hours and substituted lecturers. Besides, I was responsible for organizational matters and inquiries related to the courses - including remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Additionally, I created, supervised and corrected written exams or assisted oral exams, both in the courses mentioned above and in dozens of others, including:

  • Complex Analysis
  • Functional Analysis
  • Introduction to Mathematical Finance
  • Introduction to Mathematical Modeling
  • Mathematical Statistical Mechanics
  • Mathematics I for Applied Geosciences
  • Mathematics I for Computer Science
  • Non-Life Insurance Mathematics
  • Random Matrices
  • Side-Channel Attacks Against IT-Systems

Each semester, I offered weekly special office hours in the Study Center of Mathematics, primarily aimed at general mathematical questions of undergraduate math students and non-mathematicians.

Student Assistance
 

During my time as a Bachelor's and Master's student at TU Darmstadt, I was a student assistant in the following courses:

  • Winter 2017/18: semester abroad at National University of Singapore
  • Summer 2017:  Introduction to Stochastics (lecturer: Volker Betz)
  • Winter 2016/17: Probability Theory (lecturer: Matthias Meiners)
  • Summer 2016: Analysis II (lecturer: Robert Haller-Dintelmann)
  • Winter 2015/16: Analysis I (lecturer: Robert Haller-Dintelmann)
