I don’ t believe I can really do without teaching.

I have taught and mentored students at all levels — from Bachelor’s to PhD and J.D. — across a broad range of topics in economics, digitalization, network industries, and the platform economy. My teaching draws on my interdisciplinary research profile and bridges economics, technology, and policy.

Over the past 15 years, I have delivered courses, guest lectures, and workshops at universities and business schools in Germany, Spain, Switzerland, the United States, and beyond. These engagements range from full-semester courses and modules to intensive guest lectures, and from classroom-based teaching to virtual sessions with international cohorts.

My audiences have included students in economics, law, engineering, computer science, and the social sciences — a reflection of my commitment to interdisciplinary teaching. I have also been invited to speak in programs that attract both academic participants and professionals from industry and public institutions.

  • Digital Economy: digital business models, digital and platform economics, digital transformation
  • Network Economics: Internet and telecommunications economics and policy, regulation of network industries
  • Industrial Organization: competition policy, competition and regulation of network industries
  • Applied Policy Analysis: socio-economic effects of digitalization, interdisciplinary perspectives

  • Germany: University of Freiburg, Universität der Künste Berlin (UdK), Freie Universität Berlin, Technical University Berlin, University of Münster, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), DHBW Lörrach
