I’m specialized in genetic criticism, study of literary manuscripts and connections between folklore and literature. Currently I study the relationships between Finnish poetry of the fin de siècle and the folk song tradition called the rekilaulu in a project funded by the Kone Foundation. In my postdoctoral study I analysed the relationship between Otto Manninen’s (1872−1950) poetry and Finnish rhymed folksongs. This study combined methodology of genetic criticism, metrical studies and folkloristics. I defended my doctoral thesis Säkeiden synty. Geneettinen tutkimus Otto Mannisen runokäsikirjoituksista (Birth of Verses. Genetic Study of the Poetry Manuscripts of Otto Manninen) in 2012, where I studied the writing processes of Otto Manninen’s poems: (https://helda.helsinki.fi/handle/10138/37099).
Previously, I have worked as a researcher in the digital, critical edition of the Kalevala (Open Kalevala): http://kalevala.finlit.fi/, in prof. Lotte Tarkka's Academy of Finland research project MuMOC: The Muted Muses of Oral Culture. Ideology, transnationalism and silenced sources in the making of national heritages and literatures, and as a researcher in Finnish Literature Society’s unit, Edith – Critical Editions of Finnish Literature, with Aleksis Kivi’s novel Seitsemän veljestä (Seven brothers). I have taught the course Archives and literary research (2006−2017) and the course Critical editing (2017−2019) in the University of Helsinki. I'm a co-writer of Tekstuaalitieteiden sanasto (Glossary of Textual Studies, 2010): http://tekstuaalitieteidensanasto.finlit.fi:8080 and a member in Sakari Katajamäki’s research project on the archival traces of translations.
