I have developed and implemented various tools and methods for efficient submission, analysis, and visualisation of the results, using C, Fortran, bash, and Python. I have also published nearly 20 papers in peer-reviewed journals and received multiple grants for my PhD studies.In addition to my research, I am a science teacher at Tiedekoulu, where I introduce children to science and technology. I enjoy sharing my passion and curiosity for learning and discovery with the next generation of scientists and innovators. I am also an entrepreneur and a fine art photographer, who founded Valon tarinat, meaning the tales of light in Finnish. I create and sell printed products based on my photography and art. I have set up my own WordPress website, WooCommerce online store, and online marketing strategies.
