Teaching areas: philosophy of science · phenomenology · epistemology · quantitative methods in philosophy
I designed courses and lectured at KU Leuven, Tilburg University, and the University of Münster. I supervise or have supervised four M.A. theses and have examined many more. I also mentored research projects of 16–20-year-olds for the zis foundation and had coaching training with Leadership Choices.
