Organizational researcher
exploring work, technology, and expertise

Who am I?

I am an Academy Research Fellow at Aalto University, focusing on the themes of work, technology, and expertise. I use ethnographic, qualitative, and archival methods to examine how experts generate and mobilize expertise, technology, and other resources to produce outcomes such as economic and technological futures, expert statements, and technological products and services. Further, I am interested in the effects of these efforts for professions themselves, as well as clients, organizations, emerging technologies, and society. I typically study these questions in complex settings saturated with information, technology, and interdependencies – such as simulation rooms, central banks, and tech companies

I have Ph.D. in Organization and Management from Aalto University, Finland. Before that I studied sociology at University of Helsinki. Before joining Aalto University again, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the at Emlyon Business School, France, and at Stanford University, USA.

I have also done podcasts with colleagues. You also find episodes on Spotify.

I also love riding my bike. You can stalk my Strava to see where I ride.

Read my research

Read my new research on relational expertise, AI, and professions published in Journal of Management Studies. Also a pre-print version (without paywall) and a blog post summarizing the argument are available.

Research you cannot read yet

I have examined also on other, related topics, such as like the use of simulations technologies in macroeconomic forecasting, design work and occupation in tech (Nokia Mobile Phones), the temporalities of expertise and social problems in monetary policy and financial regulation, aesthetic expertise, and scholarship on profession. I hope you can read this work too at some point (fingers crossed).

I have also begun a new research project, funded by Research Council of Finland, on new constellations of work, technology, and organization. The project aims to develop new images of work and workers through a comparative field study on different, emerging areas of tasks and problems.

Also, I just signed-up to Linkedin. Follow me there that I won’t feel lonely.
