Background
I joined Nokia Research Center in 2004 after receiving my M.Sc. degree in Computer Science from Helsinki University of Technology, where I am currently a PhD student. My work mainly consists of user interface design and implementation but also user research.
Research Interests | | The Internet is becoming more important in people’s daily life, so it
is easy to see the Internet going mobile. The Internet will not be
bound to PCs, but mobile devices will provide the Internet for users
anywhere, anytime. My goal is to research how this can be supported on
the user interface level. This research question is also the topic of
my PhD thesis, which I am currently finalizing.

Research Projects |
During the first two years in the Nokia Research Center I was involved in a project eveloping the Minimap Web browser. My responsibilities included implementing and designing user interface solutions for the browser and conducting user evaluations and user needs studies. In 2007, I moved to the Internet Consumer Services eam and have been participating in concepting and implementing the Image Exchange Internet service. In addition, I continued conducting user needs studies and evaluations for Image Exchange.
