I’ve a PhD from the University of Zürich and I’ve been a visiting scholar at the UCL Institute of Education in London and at the Columbia University in the City of New York. For many years I worked as a senior lecturer and researcher at the learning.lab, University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland and as a consultant at the Swiss Network for Educational Innovation. I’m currently Head of the Learning Innovation Unit at the  Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, an associated Institute of the University of Basel.

In my innovation and research projects I bridge a range of educational, geographical, and disciplinary frontiers.  Understanding and implementing digital media in knowledge and learning organisations requires the integration of different domains, such as psychology, pedagogy, sociology and organisation science. My transdisciplinary projects, in which I usually collaborate with academic and practice partners, have taken me to countries and areas including Malawi, Zimbabwe, the United Kingdom, Nigeria, Zambia, South Africa, the United States of America, Central America, and Nepal.
