I am Networking Platform Manager across Aalto Schools, and I help coordinate the Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems in the School of Chemical Engineering. I have a PhD in Sociology (Women's Studies) and have been educated in multidisciplinary higher education programmes in 3 countries (US, UK, France).
I welcome collaboration with anyone at Aalto or outside the university who wants to innovate services and communication about what we do, and I gladly will connect you with people across Aalto if you have questions.
For the Networking Platform https://www.aalto.fi/en/aalto-networking-platform, I coordinate Aalto's strategic opening to promote multidisciplinarity, networking, and visibility for researchers and educators. Formerly Manager for the Materials Platform (2018-2020), that initiative provided Seed Funding for emerging research projects or preparing funding applications. As a continuation of that effort, we now offer networking training and events, and 'matchmaking' between technology and design researchers. Please see the Materials & Sustainable Use of Natural Resources pages: https://www.aalto.fi/en/research-art/materials-and.... I am also assigned the key research area Arts & Design Knowledge Building: https://www.aalto.fi/en/research-art/arts-and-desi....
In the department of Bioproducts and Biosystems https://www.aalto.fi/en/department-of-bioproducts-..., I assist Head of Department Monika Österberg https://www.aalto.fi/en/people/monika-osterberg with academic funding application and reports preparation, publishing, presentations, and popular dissemination of scientific results for the department. I benefit from working closely with FinnCERES Project Manager Jukka Hassinen, Coordinator Joanna Witos, and Director Orlando Rojas with communications and organization of Flagship activities. Check out the website: https://finnceres.fi.
I know First Aid (Punainen Risti/Finnish Red Cross certificate in English: EA2).
I gather and spread information about PHYS for people inside and outside Aalto, including other researchers, scientific advisors or evaluators, and the general public. As an English-language expert, I help researchers prepare manuscripts and presentations (structure, message, focus on the audience) and I edit or proofread them. Manuscripts include high-impact-factor journal articles, grant applications and reports, web or press releases.
