I currently teach a seminar (reading class) in FinTech, as well as a graduate lecture on Empirical Methods in Finance.
I also supervise theses. Students at the Erasmus School of Economics interested to write a thesis under my supervision are more than welcome to contact me: c.mueller@ese.eur.nl I always have data and research ideas to spare for undergraduates (replication + small extensions) and graduates (novel datasets).

Theses Supervision:
I almost exclusively assign empirical topics closely related to my research interests. Students supervised by me receive (raw or cleaned) data, and are asked to describe this data set and visualize it. Students should state theoretically motivated hypotheses and test these using state-of-the art, empirical methods, if possible using a canonical causal inference design. If you are interested in any topic close to my research, please feel welcome to reach out to me. Additionally, here is a selection of past theses I supervised:
The Impact of Start-up Financing Announcements on Incumbents
Texas Two Stepping out of Liabilities: Analyzing Bankruptcy following Spin-Offs
Patents, Innovation, and Killer Acquisitions
How innovative are financial institutions?
