During the last part of my stay at NTU under the STINT Teaching Sabbatical in 2018, we discussed a future invitation as a visiting scholar at NTU and the School of Computer Sience and Engeneering during 2019 or beginning of 2020. Now everything is set and I will go back as Visiting Scholar to NTU for a […]
As part of being a STINT Fellow for the last five months, I have written a report on my visit and stay at Nanyang Technological University under the STINT Teaching Sabbatical Program during 2018.

NTU say that they are the foodiest campus in the world with 150 food outlets and 177 vending machines. I have not counted them, but with so many different canteens it is probably true.

So, from now on, we do officially denote her as the Singaporean until she becomes “Swedish” again. Even though she won’t have any […]
Last week was recess week at NTU. For most students this equals vacation week. Nonetheless, there are no lectures at the University during this week.
