I currently teach at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW), primarily in the Bachelor of Science in Business Artificial Intelligence and the Master of Science in Business Information Systems. My teaching focuses on applied artificial intelligence, with an emphasis on generative AI, dialogue systems, and agent-based approaches, as well as the digitalisation and automation of business processes. In particular, my courses cover:
- Generative AI & Agentic Systems – from responsible use and bias mitigation to advanced LLM fine-tuning and multi-agent frameworks
- Dialogue Systems & Conversational AI – conversational design, trustworthy chatbots, and natural language processing for document and dialogue processing
- AI-assisted Software Development – coding with LLMs, “vibe coding”, and integration of AI coding assistants into DevOps pipelines
- AI for Business Processes – integration of ML and LLM services into workflows, process mining, and hybrid intelligence
- Digitalisation of Business Processes – automation and service integration across business and healthcare domains
