About me
I am a Academy of Finland Research Fellow at the University of Turku, Finland. My research focuses on solar energetic particle events and the utilization of next-generation space missions. A key question is the role of shocks in accelerating solar energetic electrons.
Interests
- Heliospheric physics and the generation of solar energetic particle events
- Acceleration and transport mechanisms in space plasma environments
- Analysis of multi-spacecraft observations

When I am not in interplanetary space I like exploring Earth’s underwater wildlife or mountain sceneries. Feel welcome to share your recommendations for a good hike or a nice scuba diving spot with me! :)
