Teaching and Supervision

I am strongly invested in supporting early career researchers and students. I want to spark enthusiasm for the field and for research — so that people leave their studies with the motivationt to change something for the better, bringing their psychological perspective and an openness to other disciplines.

My teaching is grounded in psychology and extended by interdisciplinary perspectives. It covers the foundations of work and organizational psychology, the foundations of human-machine interaction, and psychology and AI. Lectures invite critical reflection, seminars invite active participation and contribution — both engaging with questions that matter now and with the future of work and society with AI.

This page lists my courses and the supervision of theses and doctorates.
