I work on university- and professional education inside and outside Utrecht University. My educational advisor focus is on curriculum development and reform, university governance and organization, and interdisciplinary higher education. I am active in every UU faculty, and take on an average of 15 projects a year.
   As trainer-advisor I work on the professionalization of university educational directors, video-coaching teachers, and the course ‘PhD supervision’ at the UU Graduate School of Life Science, the faculty of Geosciences, and the Technical University of Eindhoven.

A selection of recent advisory projects:

- Interdisciplinary minor (re)development: Dynamics of Youth; Sexuality, Health & Wellbeing
- Interdisciplinary thesis supervision, organization, and honours program development
- Systems thinking educational design in Peace Studies
- Challenge-based and research-based educational programs involving societal partners: the Da Vinci program; Bachelor Research Hubs at the Medical Faculty
- Developing university-level strategy and tools for interdisciplinary education
- Development of an Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) 'Global Justice Lab'
- Measuring impact and researching the potential and effectiveness of the 'USO' university-wide educational innovation program
- And a number of others around various subjects such as: online learning, active learning, lesson and activity design, assessment plans, guest speaker deployment, internationalisation, and digitization & AI in the curriculum
