Biography
After getting an M.D. degree in 2014, I defended my awarded PhD thesis on the brain changes of morbid obesity and weight loss surgery in 2015 and received Adjunct professorship in Cognitive Neuroscience in 2018. I am currently Principal Investigator of the FinnBrain Neuroimaging Lab and the work is related to solving the mysteries of the developing brain.
Teaching
I have had seminal role in the launch of Human Neuroscience Master's Programme at the Turku Brain and Mind Center, where my teaching activities will continue as the leading coordinator of courses on neuroimaging methods.
