My focuses on research-based doctoral education development in the School of Engineering, which supports the efforts in all Aalto. The core of my work is to improve doctoral supervision through people, practices, and culture. I'm interested in the existing excellence, so please feel free to contact me and let's chat more!
Additionally, my research concentrates on water resources and quality, urbanization and spatial analysis.

On my free time you can usually find me from Unisport, running in the central park, walking the dog, or cooking.
I work in Water and Development Research Group (WDRG) as a postdoc researcher and a project manager. My research concentrates on water resources and quality, urbanization and spatial analysis. Additionally, I'm innovating new culture for doctoral students' instruction.

I have my background in physical geography. Both my master and doctoral theses concentrated on the spatial drivers of stream water discharge and quality, especially in terms of storm water. I'm experienced in study design, field work and sample analysis, and spatial and statistical data analysis. Additionally, years of pedagogical studies provide a good basis for doctoral studies instruction.
I did my 5-year postdoc (2017-2021) in Water and Environmental Engineering (Aalto ENG) in Olli Varis' group. The Majakka project focused on co-creating practices in doctoral education while advancing the international excellence of our water research.
