What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities in interdisciplinary projects that foster collaboration and innovation.

I am a dedicated materials scientist with a strong background in physics, specializing in the physics of solid matter. My research at the University of Helsinki has focused on understanding hydrogen behavior in novel metal alloys, leading to significant insights into irradiation damage and hydrogen diffusion. I pride myself on my precision in data analysis and my ability to communicate complex scientific concepts effectively.

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in both experimental and computational methods, including automating tools for ion beam analysis and developing innovative techniques for studying water-repellent surfaces. My collaborative projects have not only advanced my technical skills but have also fostered my passion for interdisciplinary work, where I can contribute to a motivated team.
