Biography
I have been appointed as a university lecturer in the Department of Classics in the University of Turku from 2014, i. e. the year I finished my doctoral thesis, which was mainly funded by Langnet (network for doctoral programmes in language studies). In my spare time I enjoy singing and reading, as well as the company of my family and friends.

Research
My research interests are varied, stretching from Antiquity to 19th century Finland. In particular, I have been interested in the study of language and literature, i.e. the history of classical scholarship: the fields, the practitioners and their professional identities.
