My current work relates to digitalisation of manufacturing industry. My approach into industrial internet include technical, business, legal and people perspectives in industrial use cases. My position as a COO of Aalto Industrial Internet Campus AIIC launched in August 2015 enables bridging the gap between industry needs and scientific research. Several leading Finnish companies act as our strategic partners in education and research bringing their own expertise and products to the open innovation ecosystem at Aalto campus.

My first policy related projects have been Prime Minister's Office projects "Industrial Internet" and "Digital platforms". In general, my projects are related to Industrial Internet, Digital Platforms, Digital Twins, machine learning and 5G in industrial context. I participated in Strategic Research Council (SRC) project Digital Disruption of Industry responsible for the industry implementations. I am also an trainer in professional education programs on "Diploma in Industrial Internet" and "Digital operation management" by AaltoEE.

I was an acting professor in mechatronics during 2008-2013 and a responsible teacher in several courses e.g. "Global Design Innovation" course (design thinking) in collaboration with Stanford University.

My earlier research background includes industry collaboration projects in dynamics of rotating machines, predictive maintenance and operational efficiency mainly in paper and steel industries.
