lecturing
Below is an example of a two-hour stream ecology lecture I have given for the ETH Zurich Limnoecology course. Included is the accompanying lecture handout. This lecture focuses on how the physical environment affects the ecology of running waters.

aDVISING AND supervision
I enjoy mentoring and teaching the next generation of scientists. I have co-supervised ten students at the Bachelor's and Master's levels, and one PhD student. Listed below are the students and their projects. The names of my collaborators are in bold with the relevant project in parentheses.
