Teaching and Research Intertwined

Emilia Oikarinen

Abstract:

In this talk, I first reflect upon my teaching and why I teach the way I teach. Throughout my career in academia, teaching and research have always been intertwined, and this is reflected in how my teacher identity has grown. I continue then by a brief introduction to my research, which expands to several areas under the artificial intelligence research. I also discuss how my research has been connected with my teaching. I end the talk by drafting my future vision for teaching connected to research.
