Biography
I'm an interdisciplinary academic working on topics related to urbanisation and music.
My research and publications focus on urban music scenes, deindustrialisation, nightlife, cultural heritage, and urban planning. I have taught at several European universities, including the University of Helsinki, University of the Arts Helsinki, Hochschule Düsseldorf, and the University of Freiburg.
I’m also an experienced public speaker, regularly presenting at academic conferences and cultural industry events.
