The focus of my research is on primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary school students’ self-beliefs and behavioral patterns in and outside the learning context, and their relations with academic outcomes, well-being, and dispositional traits. Knowledge of these dynamics can be used to develop individually planned support for students with learning difficulties, problems in school adjustment, or poor well-being.

I am investigating the climatic functions and hydroclimatic impacts of freshwater changes in forest ecosystems. My research focuses on understanding how shifts in freshwater dynamics influence carbon cycling, precipitation patterns, and ecosystem resilience across forested and rainfed agricultural landscapes. Through a combination of systematic literature review, spatial data analysis, and modeling approaches, I aim to identify key freshwater-related processes, drivers, and thresholds that regulate climate functions in forests and support the sustainable management of these ecosystems under global environmental change.

Senior researcher
Logopedics, School of Humanities.
I received the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of Eastern Finland. My research focuses on developing and applying interpretable machine learning methods to identify risk factors associated with developmental language disorders and low language outcomes in children. My research also extends to computational modeling related to human decision-making and tabular data, including applications in speech technology, auditory analysis, and voice-based authentication systems. I collaborate with the Research Unit of Logopedics, University of Oulu and the School of Computing, University of Eastern Finland.
