Personal profile

Description of research and teaching

I am a researcher of communication, technology and organizing. My background is in media and communication studies, but I have also worked in the areas of critical technology studies, organization studies, and political sociology. My current work focuses on organizing on digital platforms, the use of data and algorithms in organizations, and communicative AI.

In my previous projects, I have studied, for example, social evaluation of organizations in the hybrid media system, political campaigning online, organizational reputation with psychophysiological methods, social movement organizations, as well as the practices of social media analytics. I have a strong interest in methods and methodological development, in particular using computational methods and large data sets in social research as well as research ethics in digital research.

I am a member of the Open Science Coordination group at the University of Helsinki and also currently appointed as the LERU Open Science Ambassodor at UH.

CV and more details are available on my university home site and via my public LinkedIn profile.
