Research and expertise
I work as a Development Manager at the Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) in the Nature-based Solutions Unit, focusing particularly on strategy- and governance-related responsibilities.
In my role as a Senior Research Scientist, my objective is to develop and implement innovative approaches for safeguarding biodiversity and ecosystem services. My work includes, for example, developing and putting into practice operational frameworks for the avoidance and mitigation of biodiversity impacts, as well as ecological compensation mechanisms.
I hold a background in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. My doctoral research applied experimental methods to investigate the evolutionary effects of interspecific resource competition. Through my PhD studies, I gained extensive expertise in ecological and evolutionary theory. I have further broadened my competencies through studies in science communication and leadership.
Throughout my career, I have worked not only in research but also in science communication, research impact, and stakeholder engagement. I have extensive experience in multidisciplinary collaboration with research partners and stakeholders in Finland and internationally.
