Personal profile
Research interests
We have a fantastic team at Åbo Akademi University's Laboratory of Industrial Management, where we attempt to collectively address real industry problems and grand challenges. My research is highly focused on management of technology & innovation, particularly within the Finnish ship-building industry. In my current role as a post-doctoral project researcher, my major tasks are to:
• propose practical solutions for improving commissioning and sea trial processes (e.g., left-shifting project tasks using agile methodologies, virtualization of commissioning tests, risk analysis & management, etc).
• carry out mixed methods research and employ a variety of strategies such as content analysis, interviews, surveys, game simulations, inter alia,
• strategize for intellectual property management issues relating to voyage optimization solutions,
• develop green business models and market potential analysis for voyage optimization solutions,
• develop ship speed optimization algorithms,
• Conduct analysis of sustainability for voyage optimization,
My main areas of interest in research are technology-driven ecosystems (with a focus on geographically bounded ecosystems), value creation and appropriation, systematic opportunity recognition, innovation management (especially product and process innovation), sustainability, and patent research and analytics. I am skilled at employing qualitative and quantitative methods as well as utilizing digital technologies (e.g., Python, MySQL, Microsoft Power BI) for analyzing and visualizing large datasets.
Teaching
I serve as a lecturer for the courses "Innovation & Industrial Change" (developed from scratch together with colleagues) and Advanced Project Management.
Biography
I am an experienced researcher in the field of technology & innovation management with a doctorate from RMIT University (Melbourne, Australia). Prior to starting at Åbo Akademi, I worked as a researcher for five years in renowned Australian and Finnish universities. I gained nearly 3 years of hands-on industry experience in the management consulting industry as a process improvement specialist before doring my master's degree in Finland. I am an internationally experienced individual with an analytical mindset, a can-do attitude, and excellent communication and organization skills.
