Seminar Title: First steps into reproducible bioinformatics
Speaker Bio: Stephan graduated in Biology at the Ruprecht Karl University in Heidelberg, Germany, and obtained his Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton.
Stephan has been working at UBC since 2018. He was a Research Associate in Dr. Sally Otto's lab and then a Postdoctoral Teaching and Learning Fellow under the supervision of Dr. Steven Hallam in the Microbiology and Immunology Department, coordinating the Experiential Data science for Undergraduate Cross-disciplinary Education (EDUCE) program. He designed and delivered data science-focused modules across multiple MICB courses, conducted and analyzed surveys, and maintained open education resources.
In 2022, Stephan joined Skylight (Science Centre of Learning and Teaching) as the Science Education Specialist in the Computer Science Department, where he supports instructors with the migration to a new online assessment tool offering students the opportunity to practice with randomized questions for mastery learning and more flexibility when scheduling exams in a new computer-based testing facility. He focuses on the impact of learning technologies on student learning, well-being and inclusivity and how their implementation and course design should inform each other.
