About me
I am a Researcher at Tampere University (TAU), and my work focuses on the conceptualisation, implementation, and management of multispecies-oriented green infrastructure planning in metropolitan regions. My research integrates spatial planning, urban ecology, critical interpretivism, and context-sensitive design. I contribute to studies advancing sustainability-oriented, biodiversity-responsive, public–private, and co-liveable urban planning and design. I actively engage in relevant international collaborations within the built environment field. At TAU’s Urban Planning Research Group, I have co-authored publications on the biodiversity turn and multispecies co-liveability in urban planning and design, while contributing to survey-based theory validation stemming from these studies. In other groups, I have conducted architectural design studies and critiques of large-scale and high-rise development projects, focusing on contextual relationality and spatial efficiency. Through such works, I seek to bridge academic research and professional practice.
Responsibilities
I am currently responsible for coordinating the Work Package (WP) 3 of Historical and Regional Imaginaries Shaping Transitions (HIT), a Horizon Europe project that supports inclusive, equitable, and socially green–digital industrial transitions by examining successful European case regions. I contribute to WP3's planning, implementation, and findings’ dissemination.
