Biosignals, health technology
I'm a University lecturer at the University of Turku. My background is in automotive engineering and I originally came to study electronics to the UTU at 2001. I started my studies related to electronics an communication technology at the IT-Dept. and finished my M.Sc. studies in 2004 and Lich. tech in 2008. After that I worked in a special unit and graduated as a D.Sc in 2014. From the beginning of 2017 I have worked at the Dept. of Future Technologies.
Currently my focus is on non-invasive cardiac telemonitoring methods based on motion sensors. I have done research on health technology, mainly related to cardiac monitoring since 2011. Previously my research topics were related to the integrated circuits, e.g in my thesis work I investigated a neural network implemented on silicon.
Currently I lecture no courses. Previously lectured courses such as Acquisition and Analysis of Biosignals and Embedde IoT Programming. I have also given single lectures related to health technology with other courses.
