Current tasks
At present I concentrate on the effect of phytoplankton community composition on biogeochemical fluxes in marine systems. I am also involved in several projects dealing with the commercial use of algae for bioenergy production (biodiesel, biogas). In these projects we are also investigating the use of wastewater and flue gas from industry as nutrient input for the algae.
Background
I have a PhD from University of Helsinki (2007) and have formal training in phytoplankton physiology and ecology. I have held the position of Academy of Finland Research Fellow 2012-2017 and hold the position of adjunct professor in marine science at the University of Helsinki since 2010.
