Antti Airola, is an Associate Professor (tenure track) of data science in the area of Health Technology at the University of Turku. He has co-authored over 100 peer-reviewed articles, won multiple international data science competitions, and received several research excellence awards such as the the HATUTUS award for the best PhD thesis in the area of pattern recognition in Finland (2010 - 2011) and IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Outstanding Transactions on Fuzzy Systems Paper award (2015). He is currently working as responsible leader in several EU and Research Council of Finland funded research projects.
As of 2025, he is acting as a deputy head of the department of computing.
Airola's main research areas are in the area of machine learning and data science, especially their applications in the health domain.
Airola is currently responsible for teaching the course Data Analysis and Knowledge Discovery, as well as thesis supervision work (BSc, MSc, PhD). He has developed materials for and taught in many courses in the area of data and computer science, is responsible for developing the curriculum for both national BSc and MSc Medical and health technology programmes, as well as the international MSc programme in Health technology, and directs the AI Academy that coordinates AI related teaching between the faculties.
