Active Life Lab

I am driven by a desire to improve everyday life and to find new, better solutions to societal challenges. My research combines high scientific quality with practical impact. I believe that prevention is the foundation of sustainable healthcare, and promoting it requires interdisciplinary collaboration.

My areas of research include the physiological mechanisms of prolonged sitting, measurement and analysis technologies for physical activity, and randomized controlled intervention studies across different age groups—particularly among people with type 2 diabetes.

I work at Active Life Lab as an RDI Specialist and a Project Manager of the Active Life HUB project. In my project team, we build a versatile wellbeing industry ecosystem in the South Savo region, and create new product and service concepts for permanent and seasonal residents and tourists in the region. We also boost sales and marketing activities and organize a wellbeing event.

As an RDI expert, my job  includes creation of international networks and strategic partnerships  for the research unit, productization and conceptualization of our service portfolio, especially the development of contract research services.

As a Team Leader, I am responsible for one of our research groups focusing in Co-Design of Effective Wellbeing Services and Testbed Activities in Ecosystems.

I also act as the RDI Communication Officer of our research unit, and participate in the coordination of the operations of the Kalevankangas Development Platform of the City of Mikkeli.

My educational background is versatile and multidisciplinary. It comprises of MSc. in Cell Biology, BBA in Risk and Environmental Management, and MBA in Development of Data-based Wellbeing Services. Furthermore, I am a trained Wellness Coach and Wellbeing Agent at Work.

In addition to my career in the wellbeing industry, I am an experienced professional in the field of defence and security technology, specialized in business, product and application management of CBRN solutions for military and civil defence. I have also nurtured my professional knowledge and skills in marketing and sales of life science research instrumentation and reagents for public and private laboratories and other related organizations.
