I work as an academic coordinator (2022-) in the School of Engineering, where I am responsible for research-based doctoral education development. Additionally, I am a responsible teacher in two courses: Introduction to Doctoral Studies for all new doctoral researchers in ENG, and Doctoral Supervision pedagogical course for all Aalto faculty (tech, arts, business).
My key areas are doctoral education, supervision, leadership, life-long learning, and the evolution of supervision relationship. Should you have any questions, I’m happy to help!
