Biography

I work as a senior researcher at the INVEST Research Flagship Centre. My doctoral dissertation in sociology examines intergenerational inequality in higher education in Finland.

Additionally, I am currently working on two different research projects: Mapping inequalities through the life course (Mapineq) and Sufficiency solutions for a resilient, green, and just Finland (SISU). 

In the academic year 2024–2025, I am involved in teaching the following methods courses in the Master’s Degree Programme in Inequalities, Interventions and New Welfare State: Panel Regression and Multilevel Modelling.
