Motivation
I am committed to designing future‑proof Biomedical Engineering education through different (innovative) educational methods like Challenge‑Based Learning (CBL). My motivation lies in engaging students with real medical device challenges and helping them integrate engineering, biology, data science, and clinical insight. I create active, interdisciplinary learning environments where students collaborate, reflect, and apply knowledge in authentic contexts. My vision emphasises digital literacy, ethical awareness, and lifelong learning, preparing students to innovate responsibly in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. By combining hands‑on design, clinical immersion, and co‑creation, I aim to equip students with the skills and mindset needed to become professional biomedical engineers.
