Biography
He done his my Ph.D. thesis in the University of Helsinki and Finnish Institute of Marine Research on cyanobacteria, zooplankton and planktivore interactions in the EZECO research group, supervised by Markku Viitasalo. After finishing my thesis, I worked as a post-doc in the project entitled ‘Eutrophication and the behavioural ecology of the northern pike (Esox lucius): conservation implications', funded by the Academy of Finland. Part of my post-doc, I stayed in the beautiful city of Vancouver, British Columbia. Later I was funded by the Academy of Finland as Academy Research Fellow, studying cyanobacteria-copepod interactions during climate change.
Research Interest
Zooplankton reproduction in cyanobacteria blooms The effect of climate change and eutrophication on cyanobacteria population dynamics, toxin production and allelopatic capacity Consequences of ocean acidification and global warming on zooplankton Marine environment changes following eutrophication and climate change
