Dominik May, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Engineering Education
Dr. May is an Assistant Professor in the Engineering Education Transformations Institute with an emphasis on cross-reality, online, and intercultural engineering education research. He focuses on developing broader educational strategies for the design and use of online laboratories and equipment in engineering education, putting these into practice and provide the evidence base for further development efforts. Moreover, he is developing instructional concepts to bring students into international study contexts so that they can experience intercultural collaboration and develop respective competences.
