Olga’s research explores the intersections of migration, security, and environmental change, focusing on the securitization of borders in response to shifting geopolitical and ecological dynamics. Olga’s research integrates perspectives of environmental humanities, feminist theory, and border studies. She is a part of a research project Not just a fence: Disentangling the boundaries of order, logic, and control, which examines the role and meaning of contemporary border barriers and is funded by the Kone Foundation. Olga holds a PhD in philosophy from the University of Warsaw, Poland. Before joining the University of Eastern Finland, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Linköping University, Sweden, and the Turku Institute for Advanced Studies at the University of Turku, Finland.

I specialize in register-based effectiveness research. I currently investigate how dementia affects the use and costs of health and social services in Finland and across Europe. My research focuses on care pathways for people with memory disorders and on how service systems respond to growing needs related to population ageing.

Most of my research is related to economic and health geographies. I have published a wide range of articles focusing on statistical impact assessments of various policy measures, accessibility of services and infrastructure, multi-local living and regional development issues. My strengths are in geospatial modelling, geoinformatics and other statistical methods, and more generally on data analytics. In research and education, I use R primarily.

My research focuses on aerosol emissions from combustion and industrial processes, their environmental effects and emission control techniques. The research topics cover the effects of combustion technologies and fuels on emission chemical and physical properties, and emission transformation and environmental impacts in the atmosphere. The development of novel exhaust gas after-treatment technologies and circular economy aspects of combustion processes are as well part of the research activities. My research group collaborates extensively with industry and with national and international research groups.

Onerva-Aulikki Suhonen (LL.M., M.Sc.) works as a lecturer in civil law at the UEF Law School. Her teaching focuses on transnational commercial law and supervision of commercial law theses.
In her Ph.D. research, Suhonen studies the regulatory framework applicable to cross-border commercial contracts and analyses the development of transnational commercial contract law doctrine. The study systemizes the intertwining of legal norms applicable to transnational commercial contracts and examines the interaction of publicly and privately created normativity in the governance of cross-border business relationships.
Suhonen is a Finnish national rapporteur at IACL’s comparative law study “The effectiveness of international legal harmonization through soft law.”
