When undertaking a new research project, I ask myself the following: Is the research novel? What new knowledge does it bring? Does it fill a gap in the existent body of the discipline? Does it interact with other disciplines? Is the subject of inquiry clearly formulated? What will be the outcomes of the research? Are these outcomes feasible to achieve? Who will benefit from these outcomes? I search for partners, if the research is collaborative and we fundraise and work together. If this is a single-authored publication, I consult the top experts in the world sharing my plan and hypothesis, and later my initial findings and I take their advice accordingly.
In education I follow student-centered approach, or demand-driven, rather than supply-driven educational process. My teaching is both interactive and deductive. Students are the raison d’etre of the University and I am happy to spend all my time with them. They are all equal and deserve equally to benefit from my experience to learn and develop their analytical skills. I support students to acquire deep and comprehensive knowledge of all phenomena in their interest, to prepare themselves for the professions they would like to undertake, and to flourish in their educational dreams.

Let us enjoy the classes together and develop further our knowledge and learning about the diverse and multicolored world, in which we live in. Welcome to agree and disagree, to debate and question, to provoke and challenge. A balance of continuity and change makes history progress.
