I'm an Academy Research Fellow in Practical Philosophy. My background is in social, political and moral philosophy, and I'm specialized also in philosophy of psychiatry. My areas of interest include branches of continental philosophy, such as phenomenology and phenomenological psychopathology, poststructuralism, hermeneutics, and the philosophy of emotions. In my work, I analyze phenomena of contemporary society within their social and cultural contexts, most recently focusing on loneliness, meaningful relationships, and hostile emotions.
I lead a research project on philosophy of loneliness funded by the Academy of Finland (2023-2027). I'm also actively involved in the project Politicised Loneliness funded by the Emil Aaltonen Foundation (2023-2026). In 2023-2024, I was the principal investigator of the project Enhancing and Reassessing Enactivism (ERE) funded by the Helsinki School of Social Sciences and Humanities (HSSH) at the University of Helsinki.
In spring 2024, I was a visiting researcher in Denmark at the University of Copenhagen, in the Center for Subjectivity Research (CFS).
Before this, I spent 4.5 years as a visiting researcher in Germany at Heidelberg University Hospital, in the research unit for Phenomenological Psychopathology and Psychotherapy.
