Biografia

I am a global and public health expert with experience of objective physical activity measurements in both children and adults. My PhD study in the field of International Health at University of Tampere encompassed developing and validating accelerometer measurement methods for young children in low-resource settings in Malawi. I also used these methods to investigate the effects of nutrition intervention on physical activity.

I have worked as a senior researcher in the Finnish Retirement and Aging study (FIREA, www.utu.fi/firea) at University of Turku since 2015. I have been planning and supervising the accelerometer data collection and investigating different analysis methods for the accelerometer data. I have also published several articles related to accelerometer-measured physical activity and health behaviour changes in retirement transition.
