Nokia Research Center

I lead Data Insight team working on data-intensive computing, machine learning and human-data interaction at Nokia Research Center, Palo Alto, California, USA. I am also an adjunct professor in Computer Science at University of Helsinki, Finland.

Prior joining Nokia, I was doing research at HIIT BRU and FDK on various topics, including computational biology (metabolic networks, haplotype analysis, cryo-electron microscopy) data mining (pattern discovery and foundations of data mining, privacy in data analysis, inductive databases, probabilistic logic learning) and combinatorial optimization.

I defended my PhD Thesis on summarization techniques for pattern collections in data mining in May 2005. For my MSc thesis I studied the computational complexity of determining relative orientations of cryo-electron microscope images of macromolecular complexes and implemented a software system Orient Express for experimenting with different heuristic search techniques.
