Courses & Trainings

Since the early 1990 teaching has been part of my professional life. The continued exposure to challenging and thought provoking questions of the class or audience creates insight and a deeper understanding of the topic.

Cyber Security at ETH Zurich

Cyber security has become a source of confusion and hype, with individuals and businesses struggling to keep up. In 2015 Prof. Didier Sornette and I identifed a gap in education for leaders and decision makers. On his request I developed and began teaching a master-level Cyber Security course at ETH Zurich. This course explores key threats and drivers from historical, economic, social, and technological perspectives, helping students ask the right questions and make informed decisions.

Networking Security at ETH Zurich

Since 2006, I have been a lecturer for the Networking Security course at ETH Zurich. Many of today’s most damaging cyberattacks exploit network infrastructure, either as the primary target or as a means to attack end systems. This course offers an in-depth examination of network attack techniques and the defenses used to counter them.

Cyber Risk at ETH Risk Center

I co-developed a block course on “Cyber Risk: Navigating Through Digital Transformation” at the ETH Risk Center and cover Cyber Security topics in various risk courses.

  • Cyber Risk: Navigating Through Digital Transformation | 2019, 2020, 2021
  • Resilience: Beyond Risk Management | 2022 - 2024
  • EMBA - Risk & Resillience (ETH & HSG EMBA Course) | 2023

Ground Instructor at Swiss Aviation Training

From 1996 until 2009, before moving from Switzerland to Denmark, I worked part-time as a ground instructor for Swiss Aviation Training, now Lufthansa Aviation Training. I taught engineering subjects such as aerodynamics, high-speed aerodynamics, flight performance, and information technology to aspiring airline pilots. During that period, I successfully trained over 300 student pilots for their final airline pilot license exams.

Trainings I attended

Lifelong learning is essential to maintaining expertise and adapting to new challenges. I highly value education and continuous learning, regularly attending courses to expand my knowledge and stay up-to-date with industry developments. This commitment helps me remain current in a rapidly evolving field. Below a list of courses I attended.
