Since 2009, I have been teaching at the University of Groningen, in the Netherlands. I teach mainly Psychology courses, with an emphasis on Methodology and Perception. My research focuses on understanding how speech perception is affected in less than optimal conditions, because of hearing impairment, ageing, communicating in a non-native language, or external noise. The Epicurean was a column I wrote for the newspaper of the University of Groningen. Three years and more than 70 recipes on one page.

However, it may be a good idea to let demons sleep. Frühling, langsam kehrt die Sonne zurück. Die Mythen des Mittelmeeres sind nun umso anziehender. Das war mir Grund genug, eine kleine Studie der Gorgone in dünnes Kupfer zu ziselieren. Jedoch ist es besser, Dämonen schlafen zu lasssen.
