Biography
Finnish-based interdisciplinary researcher at UTU (formerly University of Oxford), with a background in research and business management.
My current role involves advancing research excellence and capacity at UTU Faculty of Medicine. To deliver this, I enhance grant capture by existing researchers, develop new concepts to obtain external funding, and find fresh solutions for added-value innovation growth. I am also active in ecosystem-building across sectors for shared added value, and have established partnerships with over 40 external organisations since 2023.
When possible, I continue to be active in Research and Innovation strategies (including via our Nordic Institutes for Advanced Studies network) and in the archaeology of Material Religion.
