I am a Finnish PhD psychologist. My M.A. is from the University of
Helsinki, Department of Psychology and my PhD from Åbo Akademi, which I
chose due to excellent quality of forensic psychology teaching there.
I work as a consultant ( "Chief Analyst" :D ) at Reaktor Innovations, working prior to that at Fifth
Element, a software company specializing in
GIS and
SAP.
My combination of topics studied at the university were psychology with a heavy dose of statistics and
computer science, which I studied at University of Helsinki, Department of Computer Science,
the birthplace of Linux operating system.
Having worked for two decades as a freelance and in-office
professional musician before and after my graduation as a psychologist, I still play drums.
My playing performances range(d) from small pub/club gigs to large audience tv-appearances
and recordings in various pop, rock, classical and jazz bands, also some side drum gigs with top orchestras of Finland, e.g. Finnish National Opera. I now play as a freelance musician and practise Scottish Pipe Band Drumming.
I speak native Finnish, fluent English, mediocre Swedish and enough Spanish to get me through basic situations in a Spanish-speaking country.
Why do I have these pages?
- To have my publication references accessible from anywhere.
- To have some obscure links accessible from anywhere with a browser without my bookmarks
- To write down some food recipes I think might be fun to remember.
- To save shy people the trouble of calling me and asking me how I am.
:-)
Most of these pages are public, but also feature some areas of restricted access. The pages are under sporadic development and
are subject to change since this is my personal playground.
Thank you for your interest, it is nice having you here.
