General description

I am professor in applied ecology. My field of expertise is sustainability of use of natural resources, and in particular forests. I have studied several organismal groups living in forests, and in particular birds and the flying squirrels.

I am a member of the Expert Panel for Sustainable Development (https://www.kestavyyspaneeli.fi/en/). The panel is an independent body, which helps to lead Finland towards sustainable development by adding scientific and ethical views to decision-making processes and societal dialogue.

Currently I am the dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Sciences.
