I am a Research Scientist in VTT’s Quantitative Science and Technology Studies unit and a doctoral candidate at Lappeenranta University of Technology’s School of Business. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Mathematics, a Master’s in Social Policy and Quantitative Social Research, and I am soon to defend a Doctorate of Science in Economics and Business Administration. I began my career in economic consulting, spent some time at a startup working on RegTech and FinTech for sustainability, and now work on AI-enabled solutions to challenges in the fields of sustainability and science, technology, and innovation.

Much of this involves the development of new ways to identify and quantitatively measure complex phenomena like sustainable development and innovation.
