At Umeå University I taught plant inventory techniques in Ecological Field Methods (Ekologisk Fältmetodik), mushroom keying in Mushroom Identification (Svampkunskap), and plant anatomy and keying in first-year basic courses (Naturens mångfald och Basåret). I also supervised small research projects in Forest Ecology and Management as well as Ecology; which included supervising project development, field work, statistics and report writing.
At the Department of Forest Ecology & Management, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), Sweden, I have co-lead a ‘Water Week’ since 2017 focused on how forestry practices affect water quality, focusing on riparian buffers and ditch network maintenance in the MS level course Sustainable Management of Boreal Forests.
My main teaching responsibility at SLU is as course leader for the 15 hp MS-level course Silviculture: the science of stand management. I have been co-leading the course since 2022 (first year as an ‘understudy’) and since have been the lead.
Additionally, I've supervised a number of interns, Bachelors, and Masters students with many different cultural backgrounds (see below).
