My research interest is New Media design, especially related to applications, solutions and services of e-learning, collaborative learning, collaborative group work and creative work.

You may find my academic profile from the Aalto People. You may have a look of my research outputs and activities in the Aalto University research database or publications in the Google Scholar.

I lead the Learning Environments research group (LeGroup) of the Aalto Media Lab of the Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture in Finland.

If you are interested in the topics of the Learning Environments research group and would like to join the group to do doctoral research, to be a postdoc or visiting researcher (doctoral candidate or postdoc) send me an email.  If your email comes with a short résumé / CV (1/2 A4) and an abstract of your thesis idea (1/2 A4), I promise, I’ll reply to you.
