I am a docent in Economic Sociology at the University of Turku and a docent in Political Science at the Tampere University. 

I am currently working as a Senior Researcher at the INVEST Flagship, where I lead a research group focused on implementing the INVEST Longitudinal Survey on Well-Being. 

From 2020 to 2023, I led the KRIME research group, which examined the social impacts of the pandemic. I am also actively involved in several domestic and international research networks. I currently serve as the Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Finnish Journal of Social Research.

Before joining INVEST, I served several years in different teaching positions, being also as head of the Economic Sociology Unit for two years.

My research focuses on citizens' well-being and their engagement with state institutions within the context of societal change. In particular, I have studied the drivers and consequences of political trust, as well as the impact of digital technology on human behaviour and interaction. I have published extensively in leading academic journals, including the European Political Science Review, Sociology, Social Science & Medicine, and New Media & Society.
