I work as a grantee researcher in the philosophy unit in a personal project on philosophy of hate and racism called Apes of Wrath? The project is funded by Olga and Vilho Linnamo Foundation (2024) and Finnish Cultural Fund (2025-2027).
I work part-time in Climate Nudge project, where I focus on behavioral interventions related to social identites and manipulation.
In the past, I have been employed by universities of Oulu and Helsinki and acted as a teacher in University of Eastern Finland.
I engage in popular science communication on social media (TikTok and Instagram) in the project Vihatohtori.
My reserach focuses on philosophy of hate and enmity, more specifically on the logical structures of racist and other kinds of generalizing attitudes.
I have studied also indoctrination, manipulation and use of humor in disseminating extermist ideologies.
I am also engaged in research in philosophy of mind, both historical and contemporary (Cartesianism, predictive processing).
I have taught some twenty courses in philosophy of mind and early modern philosophy, especially on René Descartes, as well as courses in argumentation and critical thinking, and on philosophy of racism.
