Research

My research examines how plants and ecosystems respond to environmental variation, using ecological remote and proximal sensing as a lens to quantify ecosystem function across scales. My work focuses on carbon fluxes and stocks, forest ecosystem processes, and emerging sensing technologies including drones, field spectroscopy, and other proximal systems to better understand and monitor terrestrial ecosystems.

Teaching

I led the development of the course ATMDP 007 Environmental Data Science. I have also guest lectured on several University of Helsinki courses, including ATM308 Statistical Analysis of Environmental Field Measurements, ME-232 Kaukokartoitus (Remote Sensing) 1 (2023), the Imaging Spectroscopy Master’s course (2023), and FOR-211 Tree Ecophysiology (2023–2024).
