Teaching Experiences 

• The Red-Green Research Centre / Mentor and Trainer  

September 2022-Present   

I mentored and trained international undergraduate and graduate students in molecular docking and dynamics simulations. This included designing and addressing practical research questions in computational biology, protein and peptide design. These activities were part of an international workshop on "Computer-Aided Drug and Peptide Design" as well as "Mass Spectrometry and Metabolomics."
