I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki. My research interests vary from cognitive science to cultural evolution and sustainability science. Currently I am most interested in how humans cultures evolve rules of thumb to solve everyday problems. 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, woodwork, 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.
