Interactive Materials

  I enjoy programming and have integrated this passion into my teaching, creating apps that simplify complex concepts and make them easier to understand. Below are the interactive apps I have developed for my courses — click through to open each one.

Visualizing the Law of Large Numbers

An interactive app showing how the sample distribution approximates the population distribution as sample size increases.

Exploring P-values and T-statistics

An interactive app illustrating how p-values of regression beta coefficients depend on the t-statistic, sample size, and degrees of freedom.

Supervision

  In addition to teaching, I supervise Bachelor’s and Master’s theses. To date, I have supervised (or am currently supervising) ten MA theses (five as main supervisor) and nine BA theses (all as main supervisor) at the University of Lucerne.
