HU Berlin, Master level: I am responsible for HU's introductory course on financial economics at the master level, i.e., the course "Finance Theory". This is a fairly technical course introducing students to asset pricing and some corporate finance (Modigliani and Miller). The course emphasizes connections between finance theory and macroeconomics and also discusses the status of financial economics as a field of science. Moreover, it prepares students for more specialized courses on business valuation and corporate finance.

Berlin School of Economics, PhD level: I contribute to the core course in the BSE's finance track, teaching the course's part on asset pricing. Moreover, I teach a topics course, with a focus on climate finance.
