Particles, Fields, Quanta From Quantum Mechanics to the Standard Model of Particle Physics

Since 1977 he has given both basic lectures in theoretical physics and advanced courses on different topics in particle physics, e.g., quantum field theory, symmetry groups in particle physics and renormalisation in quantum field theory
