About Myself

Hello, I am a Ukrainian, born in the beautiful city of Kiev and now living in Germany. I came to Germany as a Research Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation ( AvH) and since then have worked at universities in Munich, Passau, Berlin and now in Muenster. My family and I love this country, basically because wherever we have lived in Germany, we have met lots of nice, very helpful people!

Teaching

Good teaching is a top priority for me. Each semester, our students anonymously evaluate the quality of the courses we offer. You can take a look at some recent evaluation results  here (in German). Here is the list of  courses, seminars, projects and degree theses (in German) offered by my group.
