Presentations and teaching

Over the years, I have given an abundance of talks, guest lectures and conference presentations. And I have naturally given different kinds of courses as part of my duties as professor and teacher.

I have recorded what I can remember of my presentations under four headings:

• Invited academic talks, i.e. plenary lectures at conferences, invited guest lectures and seminars
• Conference presentations, both international and national
• Courses taught at different universities
• Administrative presentations and presentations for the general public
