My research focuses on social inequalities in education and the labour market, in particular those related to ethnicity, gender and social origin. I'm also interested in the wellbeing of young people and its links to education and social stratification more broadly. I mostly use quantitative methods in my research.

Current research projects:

I lead the Young First project, which has received funding from NordForsk for the years 2025–27. The consortium includes researchers from the universities of Iceland, Helsinki and Aarhus.

I lead a work package in the SISU Sufficiency solutions for a resilient, green, and just Finland project, which has received funding from the Strategic Research Council (first cycle 2023–26).

I'm co-leader of a work package in the Children First project, which has received funding from NordForsk for the years 2023–26.

Previous research projects (most recent):

I was co-leader of a work package in the Mapping Inequalities through the Life Course (MapIneq) project, which received funding from Horizon Europe for the years 2022–25. 

I was the PI of the "Contexts of Youths' Inclusion: Understanding social participation, belonging and civic engagement in the growth environments of culturally diverse youth" project, which received funding from the Turku Urban Research Programme for the years 2022–23.

I was Academy Research Fellow, PI of the project "Children of Immigrants, Language and Integration in Europe" which received funding from the Research Council of Finland for the years 2018–2024.

I generally teach courses related to advanced quantitative methods and social inequality, including courses related to ethnicity and migration.

In the academic year 2025–26, I co-supervise Master's students working on their thesis for the INVEST Master's program (leading one of the research seminars), I co-ordinate the research seminar for the INVEST doctoral program together with Claire Garandeau, I teach a course on register data with Jani Erola, and a course on migration and ethnicity with Kirsi Peltonen.
