About me

I am a professor of public law at Tampere University.

In the past, I have worked as a senior lecturer of public law at the Faculty of Law of the University of Helsinki, as a special expert at the Ministry of Justice and in expert positions at the Ministry of Education and Culture. In addition to this, I have worked as a university researcher in several different projects. I am principal investigator of a sub-project of the Strategic Research Council's (STN) Deca research project (link below).

I have degree doctor of laws (LL.D.) and I have the title of docent (or Associate professor) in media law at the University of Helsinki.

At the University of Tampere, I have worked as a university lecturer in the years 2015-2024.

In addition to the academy, I have held various expert positions in legislative work, committees of the Finnish Parliament and in media.

Responsibilities

Research, teaching and social interaction in the field of public law.

Fields of expertise

My research profile is focused in media law and constitutional law. I have taught legal theory, copyright law, constitutional law and administrative law. I have cooperated a lot with, for example, researchers from communication studies, but also with literature researchers and politics. My way of doing research is often interdisciplinary and I have been involved in several interdisciplinary research projects. My research topics have also been related to legal theory, legal history, tax law and legal geography.

At the moment, I am particularly interested in questions related to internet platforms and virtual reality from the perspectives of public sphere, regulation and the rule of law.
