Biography
I defended my doctoral thesis entitled “Labour law protection of trainees” in the Faculty of Law, University of Turku in 2.12.2017. Since then I have worked as a Post-Doctoral Researcher, University Lecturer and Assistant Professor at the University of Turku. At the moment I work as an Associate Professor of Labour and Social Law.
Teaching
My teaching experience includes teaching labour law and EU employment law at the University of Turku, Finland and University of Tartu, Estonia. Since 2019 I am responsible for teaching labour law at the University of Turku. I am the responsible teacher in basic studies of labour law, in specialisation course of labour law, and in advanced studies of labour law. I have supervised around 70 Master Theses and one Doctoral Thesis and continue to supervise three more Doctoral Theses. I have also completed University Pedagogy studies to support my teaching skills.
Research
My area of research for the doctoral degree focused on the protection of the rights of trainees.I studied the labour law status and protection of trainees from the EU and comparative perspective. My postdoctoral research concentrated on platform work. I have studied the employment law status of platform workers and possible regulation of platform work in national, EU and international level. I have also researched issues concerning atypical work (fixed-term contracts, zero-hours work, temporary agency work, telework, bogus self-employment and semidependent work), precarious work,the scope of labour law, the possibilities and limits of national and EU labour law and the future perspectives of labour law. One of my research interests has been cross-border employment relationships and issues connected to the employment and social protection of cross-border workers.
Lately I have concentrated on algorithmic management in employment. Since 2024 I am leading a project financed by Finnish Research Council and dealing with legal issues connected to the use of AI, technological surveillance systems and automatic decision-making in employment. The project combines fundamental rights, data protection, labour law and technology law research.
I have also actively participated and presented in several international conferences.
