My task is to coordinate, develop and implement monitoring of the harmful substances and their biological effects in the Baltic Sea.

Background
I graduated from the University of Helsinki (M.Sc.) in 2004. My studies included marine biology, zoology, environmental sciences and cell & molecular biology. In my master´s thesis I studied zoobenthos communities in shallow coastal bays (flads) in Tammisaari area (Hanko peninsula). After my graduation I continued with zoobenthos work in Finnish Institute of Marine Research. I have also a professional diver license (Advanced European Scientific Diver) and I work as a scientific diver in SYKE. My underwater photos can be seen here.
