courses
I am assisting Herbert Jaeger in his courses Neural Networks for AI (B.Sc.) and Machine Learning (M.Sc.) at the University of Groningen. See here for more details.
I also served as a TA for the PhD-level Spring School on Control Theory and Reinforcement Learning: Connections and Challenges, where I gave a tutorial on function approximation for RL.

workshops & outreach
Co-organizer of a 48-hour workshop to recruit students at Arts et Métiers, focusing on the design and production of a 3D printed foot prosthesis inspired by work at the Bio-mechanics Institute Georges Charpak. Managed and assisted 4 groups of 5 students each.
