About

I finished my Master's in Computer Science and Engineering at University of Oulu, Finland in 2024.

Right now I work as a Project Researcher at University of Oulu, where I lead the NeuroClima EU Horizon project. My job involves creating AI systems that help policymakers, researchers, and regular people understand climate issues better.

What really gets me excited is working on Conversational AI, Natural Language Processing, Human-AI Interaction and AI Evaluation Methods.
