I am an educator and researcher in the Department of Chemistry and Biotechnology at Tallinn University of Technology. I teach biochemistry to undergraduate students and related courses to master’s students. I am fascinated by biochemistry, and one of the main challenges in my teaching is passing on a sense of awe at the complexity of even the simplest forms of life. My research focuses on lipid metabolism in health and disease, and I also have a broader interest in how the human body functions under extreme conditions, including exercise. Through practical experience, I have developed a strong interest in learning and teaching, as well as in improving educational practice. In my department, I have helped establish regular gatherings for teaching staff to share experiences and support one another’s teaching.
