Biography
My main research topic is ecology of plant-fungal interactions. I am a doctor (title of docent) of plant-and fungal ecology and I am curating the the collections of Botanical museum and Botanical garden of the University of Oulu.
Ongoing:
Human microbiome and child type I diabetes (Funding: Päivikki and Sakari Sohlberg foundation for LT Ritva Nissi)
Sieniatlas (Funding: Kone foundation for a group)
Past:
Osallistava, tutkimuslähtöinen ja elämyksellinen oppiminen (funding: Finnish Cultural Foundation)
Passive hybrid treatment solutions to remove nitrogen and heavy metals from different types of waters in arctic region (Funding: ERDF)
Taimistopohjoinen (Funding: ERDF)
Teaching:
I am teaching courses on plant and fungal identification (basic and advanced levels). I am also partipating teaching on e.g, YVA (ympäristövaikutusten arviointi) and Symbiosis and I have responsibilities e.g., on BSc and MSc final exams on plant ecology.
