I am responsible for the implementation of MDIs demographic projections both on the national and local levels. I am also familiar with and have worked broadly with different phenomena related to regional development such as multilocality. In addition to my MDI work I am doing my Ph.D. in the Department of Social Research at the University of Turku, on internal migration in Finland in the years 2008-2019.
