Jorma Harju: Teaching


Lecture courses

I'm currently (autumn 2015) teaching the radio astronomy part of Basics of Observational Astronomy. I'm co-author of a lecture notebook (Johdatus radioastronomiaan, Harju, Juvela, Kontinen, Heikkilä & Wiik, 2001, 154 pages). This notebook are available on the course page as a pdf file (in Finnish).

In the fall of 2014 I taught, together with Peter Johansson, a course on the structure of the Galaxy (Linnunradan rakenne).

In recent years I have been teaching astrochemistry and interferometry .


Supervision

I have had the privilege to supervise two PhD theses (as principal supervisor), and a number of Master's and Bachelor's theses.
