  • Teaching Statement
    Teaching Statement Good teaching skills are an integral part of my definition of a good academic. I subscribe to the philos- ophy that one only truly understands a topic when one has explained it successfully to someone else. I greatly enjoy teaching Astronomy, both general classes for non-science majors as well as (under-) graduate courses. I subscribe to the philosophy that astronomy is best learnt through active student participation, through peer interaction and student-teacher feedback. Depending on the size of the class and level of the students, I have found different approaches to evoke student engagement. The Leiden/ESA Astrophysics Program for Summer Students (LEAPS) I have organized the research experience for undergraduates (REU) summer school in Leiden {LEAPS{ in 2014 and 2015. First as the ESA contact for this collaboration between ESA, Leiden Observatory and Industry and secondly as the organizer at Leiden Observatory (http://www.strw.leidenuniv.nl/ summerstudents/). Both summers, the program was a resounding success resulting in scientific publi- cation, collaborations and PhD projects at Leiden for the participants. With 20 positions and 300+ applications each year, this program is set to become a leading REU in Europe. Unique in its approach is that both organization and supervision is solely done by postdoctoral researchers. Experience I have teaching experience with four distinct levels of public outreach, undergraduate non-science majors, undergraduate science majors, and postgraduate supervision of research students. Naturally, each of these distinct groups require different pedagogical approaches. Together with Prof. P. Barthel, I co-taught \The Evolving Universe course in 2003 at the University of Groningen to non-science ma- jors (80 students).
