I have been a media technology researcher since 2000, but from 2011 I have worked primarily as the head of ux & service design at a Finnish software company Futurice. My academic goal is to learn by doing how technology is socially constructed and working in a software company is a perfect education.
A book by myself and David Frohlich was published by Springer in February 2011. It is on domestic photography as a socio-technical system in transition: "From Snapshots to Social Media – The Changing Picture of Domestic Photography".
I have worked in the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT since 2001. Currently I'm a senior researcher for one day a week, and in 2008-11 I lead the Self-Made Media research group at HIIT. In 2002-03 I was a visiting scholar in the School of Information (iSchool) at the University of California, Berkeley. The year 2009 I was a visitor at the Digital World Research Centre in University of Surrey, UK, where I still remain a visiting fellow.
I got my doctoral degree from the Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) in December 2006. The dissertation was about domestic photography, metadata and software design. The thesis was awarded by the Finnish Information Processing Association, it was also one of the 17 finalists for the ERCIM Cor Baayen Award 2007, and the thesis was one of the two theses from the CS department nominated for the TKK thesis of the year.
