Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, taught by Kalle Kytölä, fall 2019.
Algebraic Geometry 1, taught by Alexander Engström, fall 2021. (A first course in scheme theory, following chapters 1--5 of Vakil's The Rising Sea.)
Algebraic Geometry 2, taught by Alexander Engström, fall 2021. (A second course in scheme theory, following chapters 6--10 of Vakil's The Rising Sea.)
I was head teaching assistant for the following courses:
Matrix Algebra, taught by Ragnar Freij-Hollanti, fall 2018, and later by Harri Hakula, fall 2022. (An introductory course in linear algebra.)
Linear Algebra, taught by Jarmo Malinen, spring 2020, and later by Vanni Noferini, spring 2021. (A second course in linear algebra, taught remotely.)

I was awarded a teaching prize from the Aalto math department in February 2020, and another one in September 2023.
Advised students
I advised the Bachelor's thesis of Joel Hakavuori, Hochster's Formula in Combinatorial Commutative Algebra, in 2022, with Alexander Engström as supervising professor.
I advised the Bachelor's thesis of Michael Yang, Homotopy and homology of topological spaces: their functoriality and relations between them, in 2024, with Kaie Kubjas as supervising professor.
I am currently advising the Bachelor's thesis of Konsta Kemppainen, on Nakayama's Lemma and related topics, with Oscar Kivinen as supervising professor.
Organization of events and activities
Co-organizer of ForAlli - The Formalization Alliance, a math formalization club. (2022)
Co-organizer of the Algebra and Discrete Math seminar at Aalto. (2022-2023)
Conferences
Local organizer for the session in Commutative and Homological Algebra at the Nordic Congress of Mathematicians 2020, at Aalto University. This was postponed to August 2021 and again to August 2022, due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Workshops:
Algebraic combinatorics workshop, May 2018, at Aalto University.
Commutative algebra workshop, October 2019, at Aalto University.
Activities for school students and families:
I organized a math activity/game about graph coloring in occasion of Tyttöjen päivä (Day of Girls), an event to promote science among school students, specifically girls, at Heureka museum, in Vantaa, on October 11th 2019.
I participated as a teacher to the Aalto math camp 2020, an event for gifted high-school students from Finland, in the last weekend of October 2020, with a crash course on graphs and Ulam's reconstruction conjecture. In October 2023 I proposed the same topic on one day, and on another day I talked about axiomatic systems and formalization of mathematics, and in particular about the Natural Number Game.
I helped at the Aalto Family Day 2022, an event for students, staff and alumni of Aalto and their families, with an activity called "The shape of space" with David Radnell.
