My first office at the University of Helsinki was in the kitchenette of a former caretaker’s flat in the Metsätalo building.

I have had an exceptionally long career as a full-time researcher at the University of Helsinki, from 1996 until 2015. These 19 years have been filled with plenty of different temporary contracts, ranging from research positions in various projects to the more prestigious Research Fellow posts with the Academy of Finland and the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies.
