Anu Sepp’s research interests are music education, curriculum research, teacher education, teacher’s pedagogical thinking, music education integration
I am a Senior Researcher (Innovations and Markets in Bioeconomy) at the Business School, Faculty of Social Sciences and Business Studies, University of Eastern Finland.
I am keenly interested in examining how technological platforms, particularly social media, intersect with consumers’ lives. I am fascinated by the depth of impact that these platforms have had on facilitating consumers’ awareness of and behavior towards sustainable products. To this end, my research focuses on developing a nuanced understanding of how and why consumers make decisions regarding consumption of sustainable products and services, and what role technology could play in facilitating a more positive consumer outlook towards the same. Additionally, I am intrigued by the ‘dark side of social media’, or the negative effects that social media platforms have had on individual lives and passionate about examining the implications of contemporary issues like fear of missing out, on social media users.
My research has been published in leading journals like the Journal of Business Research, Technological Forecasting and Social Change, Computers in Human Behavior, Internet Research and Information and Software Technology, to name a few.
Mr. Chowdhury is currently conducting his PhD research using remote sensing and deep learning to detect biodiversity indicators. His innovative work focuses on developing new methods for mapping large aspens, Deadwood and community diversity in Finland. He is also working as a Technical Assistant at the University of Helsinki.
He holds two Master’s degrees: one in European Forestry from the University of Eastern Finland and the other in Spatial and Ecological Modeling from the University of Lleida, Spain, which he completed through the prestigious Erasmus Mundus Scholarship program. He completed his bachelor’s degree in forestry from the University of Chittagong. In Bangladesh, he worked for three years as a Research Assistant on four different projects at the University of Chittagong. He also served as a Visiting Researcher at LUKE (Natural Resources Institute Finland) under the AlphaWetland project.
In addition to remote sensing, Mr. Chowdhury has extensive research experience in carbon accounting, gap ecology, urban forestry, bioeconomics, and forest ecology. His scientific publications have appeared in prestigious Journals such as Forest Ecology and Management , Journal of Cleaner Production , and European Journal of Forest Research .
I am a PhD student in Pharmaceutical Physics Group, Department of Applied Physics. My research field is about extraction of metals from ore and aqueous solution with functionalized nanoporous silicon adsorbent.
I have studied at the Universities of Tampere and Jyvaskyla, worked as a professor in the University of Joensuu and Tampere, as a docent in the University of Lapland and been awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Turku.
I have been a visiting scholar in the University of London, Rochester (N.Y.), Toronto and British Columbia (Vancouver). I have been as a active member, secretary and president of the International Sociological Association’s research committee 04 Sociology of education.
My research focuses on health pedagogy, child and family health, interprofessional collaboration, and competence development.
My ‘politics of nature’ research is much focused on Arctic and Boreal development issues, examined both as local/regional and transnational/planetary questions. A particular target has been Joensuu, a provincial city in Eastern Finland, in which context signs and options of sustainable city planning are identified, examined and promoted. In research practices I have applied and upgraded ‘environmental action research’ methods. As a geographer, I encourage research activities that deal with contemporary socioenvironmental concerns and which also include societal participation.
The fields of teaching and research are forest health as well as industrial forest biotechnology and biorefining. In terms of forest health, key issues include the epigenetic adaptation of forest trees to environmental disturbances and climate change and the use and management of forest biodiversity. A special research topic is the potential of forest biodiversity sites and short rotation coppice plantations to enter the carbon compensation markets. Research on the production of carbon-neutral bio-based products and materials and the calculation of the carbon footprint (Scope1, 2 and 3, and LCA) are at the heart of the research in industrial forest biotechnology and biorefining topic.
