Current: Inleiding Astrofysica

The first year BSc-level introduction to astrophysics at Leiden University. It is mandatory for all astronomy students, but the course is also popular amongst physics students. It covers all the basics from celestial coordinates, planetary systems, the Sun, stellar structure and evolution, all the way to galaxies and cosmology.

Although not part of my regular teaching duties I have lectured undergraduate students on cosmology as part of "Big History" lecture series in Eindhoven, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. At the Erasmus University College I have contributed as a guest lecturer since the course started in 2013.

Outreach Activities

I regularly present the latest views on cosmology in public talks, some of which have been recorded, such as my presentation on the "Inflated Universe" in Leiden and my Studium Generale talk in Twente on the "Dark side of the Universe" (note that both presentations are in Dutch). I have recently been interviewed by quotesmagazine.com about my work as a cosmologist.
