Mechanical & Control Systems Engineer, Engineering Educator, and Biomedical Engineering Researcher working across automation, robotics, teaching, and quantitative biomedical imaging.

Engineering, teaching and research

My professional journey has developed across mechanical engineering, industrial automation, university teaching, robotics and biomedical engineering research.

I am an engineer and educator with an interdisciplinary background spanning mechanical engineering, control and automation, robotics and biomedical engineering.

My engineering experience includes industrial automation, control-system projects, commissioning, technical coordination and special projects.

I have also taught engineering subjects at university level, including engineering mechanics, control systems, vehicle technology, CAD, advanced vehicle control, and refrigeration and air conditioning.

More recently, my work in Finland has focused on biomedical engineering and quantitative analysis of physiological signals and imaging data.
