As an RDI Specialist at Savonia University of Applied Sciences and a PhD candidate at the University of Eastern Finland, I work at the intersection of AI, IoT, and sustainability. My expertise includes data science, spatial analysis, and renewable energy systems, with a strong track record in research, teaching, and leading AI-driven innovation projects.
I have led and contributed to interdisciplinary initiatives such as ÄLLITÄ (AI-powered energy efficiency analytics) and AMBITIOUS (smart water management leveraging AI, 5G, and IoT), applying advanced Python-based exploratory analysis, AWS-powered cloud analytics, and real-world AI deployments in infrastructure environments. My work supports regional development through projects advancing energy, climate resilience, and circular bioeconomy.
ÄLLITÄ – Smart Energy & AI Innovation
- Regional project advancing predictive energy analytics, building energy efficiency, and renewable energy forecasting for North Savo.
- Performed exploratory data analysis on hourly electricity consumption (Jan 2023–Apr 2024), engineered features, and built predictive models to optimize energy management.
- Published project progress and insights on Savonia’s DigiCenter platform.
AMBITIOUS – Smart Water Management with AI, 5G, IoT
- EU-funded consortium (Finland, Sweden, Italy, Greece, Netherlands) for flood prediction and climate resilience using sensor networks and low-latency communication.
- Designed and integrated AI-powered flood prediction systems using real-time sensor, climate, and WaterLAB testbed data.
- Supported pilot deployments in the Kuopio Water Cluster, enhancing infrastructure resilience.
Savonia University of Applied Sciences (RDI Specialist)
- Lead analytics for ÄLLITÄ, modeling energy consumption patterns and performing advanced feature engineering for smart buildings.
- Developed flood prediction and climate resilience models for AMBITIOUS, utilizing sensor, climate, and WaterLAB data.
- Authored web articles and visualizations on project progress for Savonia’s DigiCenter.
University of Eastern Finland (Visiting Researcher)
- Conduct doctoral research on renewable energy systems, LiDAR data processing, and spatial analytics.
- Supported regional RDI efforts.
