I am currently engaged in applying Natural Language Processing (NLP) and temporal network analysis to legal texts, with a primary focus on EU energy law. My research aims to explore the trends and doctrines within energy law, providing insights into the evolution and future directions of energy regulations and policies in the European Union.

I work as a Senior Researcher in the Borders, Mobilities, and Cultural Encounters (BOMOCULT) Research Community (2020-). My research has focused on various mobility phenomena in Europe, such as the experiences of Nordic migrants in London during the Brexit era and mobility caused by the war in Ukraine, as well as migration governance.  My PhD (University of Lapland, 2013) examined the labour market experiences of highly skilled Finns in the European labour markets. I have also published on migration decision-making, the labour market position of return migrants, intra-European mobility and Iraqi asylum seekers in Finland. I have also worked at the University of Lapland and the University of Helsinki and as an expert evaluating international research funding applications. My research has also been funded by the Kone Foundation, the Alfred Kordelin Foundation and the Kansan sivistysrahasto -foundation, for example.

I am a physician and Academy Research Fellow based in Kuopio, Finland. My research focuses on cardiac imaging and physiology, aortic dilation, and the impact of sleep apnea on the cardiovascular system. I graduated as a medical doctor from the University of Eastern Finland in 2012, obtained my Doctor of Medicine degree in 2019, and specialized in Clinical Physiology and Nuclear Medicine in 2022. I hold the title of Adjunct Professor (Docent) in Experimental Cardiac Imaging.

I lead the MOMESY research group, which focuses on developing novel cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods. Our work includes advanced tissue characterization techniques (such as RAFFn), 4D flow imaging, MRI strain analysis, and diffusion tensor imaging. My particular research interests include cardiomyopathies and pulmonary hypertension.

In addition, I serve as a co–principal investigator in the DILAO research group studying aortic dilation, and I work as a physician in the STAR sleep research group. I also have experience collaborating with the pharmaceutical industry.
