I received my doctoral degree in 2008 from Helsinki University of Technology with Professor Ilkka Niemelä as my supervisor. After my dissertation I have worked as a postdoctoral researcher at University of Helsinki in 2009 and at Aalto University from 2010 onwards. In 2011 my postdoctoral researcher project titled "Constraint-Based Reasoning for Data Mining" received funding from Academy of Finland (duration 3 years) and I was funded by my project during 2011-2015 (having spent the years 2012-2013 mostly on parental leaves / working part-time). Between 2016-2019, I worked as post-doctoral researcher on an Academy of Finland funded project Human-guided data analysis (HGDA) (at Finnish Institute of Occupational Health / Aalto University / University of Helsinki) in Exploratory data analysis research group of Prof. Puolamäki. Starting from February 2020, I am university lecturer at Department of Computer Science at University of Helsinki.
