I lead the Digital Traces Lab (digitraces lab) at the Aalto University Department of Computer Science. In my lab, we apply data science methods to digital traces that people leave behind to quantify their behavior and changes in behavior over time. I am specifically interested in applications in health and mental health.

I also teach two courses: Digital Health and Human Behavior which is a course aimed at BSc and MSc level students to get acquainted with topics in these fast-growing areas. This course combines different materials for students to gain knowledge on the latest research developments in the field as well as hands-on knowledge working with the relevant datasets. I also teach the course Basics in Programming Y2, which teaches Python to BSc level students. In this course, students implement interactive software from scratch. It is exciting to observe how students who have recently learned to code manage to develop projects which are elegantly coded and fully functional.

In addition to these, I continuously advise BSc/MSc/PhD students that I advise. A list of my current and past students (and links to their theses) can be found here.
