Present Activities

I am planning and working for several research projects in the area of user-driven services and empirical legal studies. I am especially concentrating on legal issues related to future mobile applications and services.

My present projects include OtaSizzle [3] - Ubiquitous Social Media for Urban Communities, Possi - User-driven Publicity and Privacy in Mobile Online Social Interaction, Social Publicity & Privacy, DCM - Digital Content Marketing, and ARMS - Acquisition, Retention, and Monetization Strategies in virtual and social spaces.

Previously, I have participated in many research projects, like Wireless Festival [4] Eureka/Celtic project, MobiLife EU (IST-511607) project, Kasi – Future Information Security Trends, and MobileIPR [5].

I have given numerous lectures in various classes at Helsinki University of Technology, University of Helsinki, Lakimiesliiton koulutus, IIR Finland, etc.

I am an adjunct professor (docent) at Aalto School of Economics, Information Systems Science.

I am also affiliated (of counsel) with Puiro Snellman Åkerlund Attorneys at Law [6]. I founded Opplex, a law firm that specialized in business law and particularly in IT law. In 2004, Opplex was merged into Puiro Snellman Åkerlund.
