Since 2022 I lead a cross-faculty program on ethics of science and bioethics at the HHU. Feel free to contact me in case you have any question about syllabi, teaching methods and curricular implementation. We currently cooperate with several study programs at the HHU, including philosophy, politics and economics (PPE), medicine, computer science and computer linguistics.

In 2021, 2022 and 2023 I was nominated for the teaching award of the HHU.

supervision

If you are a student and are planning to write your bachelors or masters thesis with me as a supervisor, then the reading list in the syllabi of good scientific practice and moral problems in biomedical research would be good prior preparation. Please prepare an exposé (four pages) containing a topic description, a research question, a preliminary outline as well as a list of references with 15-20 entries, and send it via mail, when asking for an appointment to discuss your project.
