Teaching activities
I belong to the second generation of teachers in my family and for that reason I was taught from the youngest age that teaching was an honorable and profound profession. My teaching philosophy is based on the respect for the expertise and diversity of learning styles and educational goals of the students with whom I have the privilege of engaging in a co-learning experience. I believe it is important to be accessible, responsive to constructive feedback, open-minded and encouraging. Also, I truly value the ability to learn from my students about current issues encountered in a classroom and/or in a geotechnical laboratory. Since March 2001 I have been permanently involved in the education process at the Faculty of Geotechnical Engineering. In December 2011 I was elected to the scientific teaching title of an Assistant Professor and in 2017 I become an Associated Professor. Currently I teach five courses at all study levels. I strive to make my courses exciting and challenging for students. Since I realize that students can have different learning strategies, I try to do my best to vary my lecturing styles as much as possible to accommodate to their learning styles. I also devote considerable one-to-one effort to each student.
