PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT

I design learning beyond the university.

I turn research into learning experiences: a digitally guided outdoor adventure, a tabletop strategy game, a radio series and a webinar programme, in partnership with cultural institutions and broadcasters. I give each format its own atmosphere, pacing and sense of place, since people remember what they did far longer than what they were told.

HYBRID LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Zona Frigida

Lake Zurich · 2024

A self-guided trail that lets people feel cold-water science on their own skin. QR codes along the lakeshore lead participants through a seven-step journey, from safety checks to immersion, guided reflection and a group meeting where their own sensations are connected to the biology of TRPM8 cold receptors.

SERIOUS GAME 

Climate Impacts

Zurich · 2025

A tabletop strategy game in which players steer historical societies through droughts, floods and volcanic eruptions. Each resilience card pairs a documented past adaptation, such as Maya water harvesting, with a present-day equivalent, such as urban rain gardens, so players debate climate adaptation through concrete cases.
