Since 2005 he has been a post-doctoral research fellow at UVM’s College of Medicine, where he added to an already extensive publication record in the field of asthma research.
He enjoys being in the classroom where he aims to incorporate students into his research program
When he is not in the classroom, Hans is an avid windsurfer and spends much time outdoors cycling, hiking, and cross country skiing; he also enjoys yoga and reading.
“In Health Sciences, there’s a lot of memorization of facts and details, but my main goal is to bring students past that and apply real information to real situations,” said Hans. “I try to work on reasoning and problem solving skills with reference to the human body and make it relevant to the courses I teach, to help students see the big picture.” He lives in Jeffersonville.
