I have researched diverse topics from mindfulness to political attitudes to refugee trauma. Also math grad student with AI focus. App: Tita (in app stores), Book: Onko mindfulnessista mihinkään?
I majored in psychology, math, and (for a while) philosophy. I've practiced meditation my whole adult life and studied it in my doctoral thesis. I am a long distance runner and musician, which I currently mostly practice via choir singing.
My main focus has been on mindfulness apps in particular and critical political attitudes, though I have paid more attention to quantitative methodology itself in recent years.
Taught intervention evaluation for INVEST graduate students, and psychology of mindfulness as well as statistics for psychology majors.
