In my doctoral research, I explore the prosodic features of deceptive speech, beliefs about cues to deception, and lie detection. The primary research material consists of emergency call recordings, with a specific focus on the acoustic-prosodic features of hoax emergency calls. My research interests extend broadly to speech prosody and the impressions it creates, but I am also interested in vocal health, voice training methods, and research on these topics. I did my Master’s degree in the University of Tampere, majoring in speech technique and vocology.

My teaching experience includes instructing a wide range of speech research methods in general linguistics at the University of Eastern Finland, particularly focusing on the Praat software and evaluating voice by utilizing acoustic measurements.
