Hi! I am Matti from Finland, and I work as a university teacher in the School of Electrical Engineering at Aalto University. My background is in theoretical physics, and I teach mainly BSc level physics courses, classical and quantum mechanics. My main research interests are in quantum computing and quantum gravity. On my free time I spend time with my 4-year-old son, do indoor bouldering, go running or skiing in the forest, read books, play guitar, and brew beer, among other things.

Hi all,
I am Ares Gomez, a mexican in Växjö.

Hi, My name is Agata and come from Poznań in Poland. I teach English at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. I have classes at different departments of my Uni so I can experience or enjoy the entire social cross-section. For me this is the most exciting part of my teaching- different young people, characters, fresh ideas, etc... Thanks to them I feel younger.
I love travelling and together with my family we visited many places in Poland and in Europe. The above you can see a photo of our airport in Poznań because coincidentally we live quite close to it so we can observe planes landing or taking off.

Hello! I am Jia Min and I grew up in Singapore. I currently teach at the National University of Singapore and also organise a regional environmental program in my own time to develop social-emotional leadership skills in high schoolers from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines (which is currently online but used to be in-person)! I have interests in creative writing, in theatre and performance, and I love trees :) (but I don't have the patience for farming/growing things ><)

Hi everyone!

My name is Maksat and I am a senior lecturer at the Division of Mathematics and Physics at Mälardalen University, Sweden.
I am here to learn innovative teaching methods and to gain new pedagogic skills which I can use in my teaching activities in the future. It is quite exciting as we are all from different countries and academic institutions. I hope that it will be an interesting journey for all of us.
