I am a doctoral researcher in adult education, with a particular interest in adult learning, and neurodiversity and inclusiveness in working life. In my dissertation, I explore the experiences of highly educated women diagnosed with ADHD in relation to learning at work.
My research is funded by The Finnish Concordia Fund and The Emil Aaltonen Foundation.

Michael Pace-Sigge initially worked as university teacher at the University of Liverpool, UK from 2005 – 2012 and as university teacher at Liverpool Hope University 2007-08. In 2012 he was appointed Senior Lecturer at the University of Eastern Finland, where he continues to teach and do research. Beyond that, he has taught during Erasmus exchanges in Estonia, Italy, Lithuania, Spain, and Ukraine. Starting with an interest in Scouse (the accent of Liverpool) he moved from a phonetics MA to a corpus linguistics PhD. His particular interest lies in the Lexical Priming Theory (as can be seen by his 2013 and 2017 books). He also keeps finding further applications for corpus linguistics (as the 2015, 2018 and 2020 books attest). Of late, his interest has shifted to language applications in AI and Paul Hopper’s Emergent Grammar research.

Select bibliography:
This project is on-going ethnographic research of migrants in North Karelia. Since the beginning of the 2000s, I have been carrying on my research among Russian migrants from the everyday ethnographic perspective, in the border areas of North Karelia. The theoretical framework of the project lies in the intersection of welfare politics, transnational everyday life, rural border areas and everyday geopolitics (see e.g. Pöllänen & Davydova-Minguet 2017). Methodologically the study continues the border ethnography tradition (Davydova & Pöllänen 2010, 2011; Vila 2003). This project conducts research on migration and transnationalism in the contexts of border areas in the era of austerity policy and politics.

Doctoral researcher studying the antiviral properties of compounds isolated from tree bark in Antti Haapala group in colaboration with Varpu Marjomäki group at the University of Jyväskylä, which focuses on virus research. I specialize in virology, with a main focus on prevalent RNA viruses such as entero- and coronaviruses, and on antiviral strategies against them.
I am an Early Stage Researcher working on a PhD thesis called “Photoacoustic tomography in a heterogeneous medium”. Photoacoustic tomography is an imaging method based on photoacoustic affect created by an externally introduced light pulse. It combines the benefits of both optical and acoustic imaging. The applications include, for example, imaging tissue vasculature and small animal imaging.
Often in photoacoustics, propagation of acoustic waves is assumed to happen in a homogeneous medium. This is not always the case and hence, by modelling the wave propagation in a heterogeneous medium, more accurate estimates could be obtained. The objective of my thesis is to form a photoacoustic model which allows the estimation of photoacoustic images in a heterogeneous medium.
I study historical criminology, especially the development of crime and punishment in Finland and the other Nordic Countries since the beginning of the 19th century to the present. A major part of my research is collecting and compiling historical criminal statistics. I have recently launched a statistical database on historical criminal statistics of the Nordic countries 1810–2022.
I teach criminology, legal theory, and the sociology of law in every phase of our curriculum from the very first semester to the advanced studies seminars and the doctoral program.
I belong to the research group in criminology.
The overall aim of my research is to understand the role of freshwater in the Earth system and the well-being of societies. My main focus is currently on my ERC-funded project AQUAGUARD, where we assess changes in the global water cycle and their human drivers and Earth system impacts, with the aim to identify feasible and just opportunities for safeguarding freshwater’s life-supporting functions.
