My research focuses on energy transition as a large-scale sustainability transition. In my research I have focused on inertia and path dependency of energy systems, socio-cultural framing of technology and how changes in technological fields are brought about. My current research topics tackle energy practices and sustainable consumption (esp. laundry and heating), local energy initiatives and communities, energy questions of cities as well as interlinked practices of sustainable consumption and production.

My work as a research coordinator at Helsinki Institute of Sustainability Science - HELSUS - is focused on developing inter- and intradisciplinary research collaboration, science-policy interaction and increasing the societal impact of sustainability research.
