Hello,

My name is Julia Lohmann and I am Professor of Practice in Contemporary Design here at Aalto University. Originally I am from Germany, but also lived in London for 14 years before coming to Finland in 2018. In my work I question the way we engage with our natural environment and with the materials we take from nature. I teach on the Contemporary Design MA course and in my courses I engage students with critical and speculative design and a deeper reflection on their own values and agency as designers.

Hi all! I am Mashrura. I joined the Marine Technology group (Mechanical Engineering) at Aalto in June 2021 as an Assistant Professor. I am originally from Bangladesh, and then lived 10 years in Newfoundland, Canada doing my MSc, PhD, and Postdoc before coming to Finland.

I am a computer engineer by training and my research focuses on using machine learning and AI to create human centered systems and solutions for a safer marine industry. Having a totally different background has made teaching mechanical engineering courses challenging but exciting at the same time. Right now, I am co-teaching the MSc course Random Loads and Processes. But my goal is to design, develop, and deliver my independent course AI in Shipping in near future. This is why I am here 😊 Looking forward to learning with and from you all.

Hi all! I am a newly appointed assist. prof. in the Dept of Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering, but I have studied and worked in HUT/Aalto part-time for > 20 years. I have been running lecture courses intermittently here and there on topics varying from neurology to neuroimaging, and next spring I will start as the responsible teacher of Physiology course in Aalto. On this pedagogical course, I especially want to learn ways to organize and design my new "own" course in a way that it is inspiring and motivating for the students and supports their learning outcomes.

Hi! I'm Roby, my pronouns are they/them/theirs. I was born in Canada/Turtle Island and have lived in Finland now for 5 years.

I work as a teacher in the MA Visual Communication design programme. I also teach outside of Aalto through the platforms efforthelsinki.fi and trojanhorse.fi

I would like to use this course to re-design the 12 credit studio course on Visual Narratives, that I will teach in the spring. I previously designed the course for online last spring, but this spring will need to make it suit hybrid mode.

In teaching i'm interested in how we can de-colonize university education and pedagogy and also make learning environments safer for marginalized and under-represented students at the intersections of class, race, gender and ability.

Hi All, it is great to read this wide range of your various backgrounds! My name is Arne and I am Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship at the School of Business. Although I have taught and co-taught at the Bsc and Msc levels for the past 10 years, my pedagological knowledge was rather learning by doing until my attendence of the Aalto Peda! Intro course last year.

In the context of our program renewal at BIZ, I will start teaching a new course entitled "Entrepreneurship & Mega Trends" in the next academic year 2022-2023. Given the opportunity to develop a new course from scratch, I hope to gain new insights, guidelines and tips for setting-up a course that students enjoy and that is very useful for their future work life. Looking very much forward to meeting and working with you!

Hi all! My name is Martin Andraud, I am an assistant professor in the school of electrical engineering (ELEC). My research is at the interface between Integrated Circuit design and Artificial Intelligence.

I currently mostly teach in the Digital Systems and Design (DSD) bachelor. I teach very basic courses for first-year bachelor students.

In this course, I want to rework my main course duty, "electronic circuits". I have taught 2 previous versions of this course but I want to modify it further, so that it can offer more, from essential knowledge to more "a la carte" study.

In terms of pedagogical experience, I have 10 ects (Peda Intro and supervision of master thesis) but I want to complete the 25 etcs to gain more understanding.

Hello all! I'm Seppo Sipilä, university lecturer at Aalto University Department of Physics. I teach the masters-level course "Introduction to Reactor Physics" on nuclear energy and nuclear reactors, and have been involved in related teaching at TKK/Aalto for about 30 years.

While the content of my course is basic science with well-defined scope and subject matter, the times they are a-changing and young students seem to have somewhat different expectations and competencies than they used to.

In my pedagogical studies at Aalto so far, I have been acquainted with the building blocks of good teaching. On this course, I hope to find ways to modernize the delivery of my course in practice to enable my students to achieve better learning results.

Hi Everyone! It is very nice to meet all of you. I am University teacher in the Department of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering (School of Chemical Engineering). I teach 7 different courses related to sustainable metal processing and circular economy. I am planning to develop further the courses that I teach and also in the future I would like to create completely new courses.

Most of the courses in which I am a responsible teacher are multidisciplinary courses. And the students who enrolled in these courses are coming from many different countries and cultures. So, there are many aspects that I would like to improve in my courses e.g. closer integration to sustainability, multidisciplinary environment, multicultural aspects.
