I am a doctoral researcher in the Landscape Studies program at the University of Turku. My research examines plastic waste (in)sensibilities within the Nordic context, focusing on Turku as an exemplary city where advanced waste infrastructures shape how environmental care and cleanliness are experienced.

Grounded in process philosophy and affect theory, my work traces how plastic waste that persists, circulates, or recedes from perception shapes attention, feeling, and everyday relations of environmental care. Through situated, more-than-human modes of attunement, I explore how urban atmospheres register the subtle presences and absences of plastic.

My dissertation, Plastic Waste Entanglements: Sensory Encounters in the Urbanscape of Turku, situates plastic waste as a site where material, affective, and ecological processes meet, bringing humanistic inquiry into dialogue with environmental knowledge practices to foreground resonance, relationality, and the everyday ethics of becoming with waste.
