Back to the start


Dear readers,

I started my academic life in 2004 as a math student in University of Helsinki. I enjoined my time there, although, one of the best experiences of my “university years” was the academic year 2006/2007 that I got to spent in Roma Tre University as an Erasmus exchange student. During the later part of my studies, in 2008, I joined the Atmospheric Remote Sensing group of the Finnish Meteorological Institute first as a summer trainee, then as a master’s thesis worker, and finally as a research scientist. I never looked back, and went to do my PhD studies in Lappeenranta University of Technology (2011–2013). This means that I never actually worked for my alma mater.

Tomorrow that is about to change, as I will join the Inverse Problems research group in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics until the end of this year. I am excited about this opportunity and will try to learn as much as I can during the next seven months. Research-wise, this is also an excellent opportunity to study the different aspects of the inverse problems research.

Actually, I will start my first full week as a university employee in the “13th InternationalWorkshop on Greenhouse Gas Measurements from Space.” Finnish Meteorological Institute organizes the meeting, but it will be held in the main building of… University of Helsinki!

See you there!
