Biography

I studied here at University of Turku and got my MSc in 2018. Short after graduation I got my current position as grant researcher in Professor Kari Saikkonen's group.

I am finishing my PhD studies. I have been studying plant-herbivore interactions and their mediation by a microbial symbiont.

Research

I study symbiotic endophytic fungi in grasses. Mutualistic interaction between a plant and a fungus offers theoretically interesting study system for research on trophic interactions and coevolution. Such symbionts could also be utilized in agriculture. My focus is in insect-plant interactions and how they could be affected by endophytic fungi.
