I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki. My interests include sustainable cultural evolution, collective behaviour change, and decision-making under uncertainty. I have a soft spot for complex systems and philosophy of science.
In my free time I am an amateur musician who enjoys nature, hiking, foraging, photography, and kayaking. I also write popular science. I am always on the lookout for new ideas and inspirations, so please don’t hesitate to contact me.
I am affiliated with the Past Present Sustainability Research Unit.

This research article studies ecological rationality (heuristics and decision-making) in 894 Finnish mushroom foragers.
