I currently supervise two PhD students at UiO. One PhD student at UniBi for whom I was the de-facto primary supervisor has finished, one PhD student at UiO for whom I was the main supervisor has finished, one PhD at UniBi for whom I was the secondary supervisor has finished. I was a member of the PhD thesis evaluation committee of six PhD students at UniBi and one PhD student at UNIMIB. I was the main supervisor for 30 thesis projects: six Master theses at UniBi, two Master theses at UiO, four Master theses at KIT, ten Bachelor theses at UniBi, four Bachelor theses at KIT, and four Diploma theses at KIT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
