Dr. Heli Korkka-Knuts works as a University Lecturer in Criminal Law at the Faculty of Law, University of Helsinki. She has been appointed Associate Professor of Criminal Law (tenure track) at Åbo Akademi University as of August 1, 2025.

Dr. Korkka-Knuts is the co-author of Yleinen rikosoikeus (2020 Edita Publishing), which is one of the most established handbooks covering criminal liability doctrine in Finland.
