I work as a University lecturer in the Department of Agricultural Sciences in the University of Helsinki.

My research and teaching handles mostly the use of technology in animal welfare research. I am interested in developing automated systems to predict animal health problems and automatically monitoring animal behavior i.e. Precision Livestock Farming (PLF). I have mostly worked with lameness in Dairy Cattle, but I am also involved in many other projects involving pigs, turkeys, horses and dogs.

I mostly use R with Rcpp for data analysis, Some Matlab for some teaching and Python+C# for data collection and GUI programming.
