Biography

I am a doctoral researcher at the University of Jyväskylä School of Business and Economics and a member of the JYU.Wisdom community, while also working at Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke). My research examines biodiversity-related questions at the intersection of business and finance. In particular, I investigate how the impacts and dependencies of companies and investments on nature, as well as nature-related risks, can be assessed in ways that generate relevant and actionable information for decision-making.

My research aims to advance understanding of the interconnections between economic decision-making and the natural environment.

Research interests

I study how impacts and dependencies on nature and nature-related risks can be assessed in the financial sector. My aim is to understand how companies’ impacts on nature relate to financial risks and how this information can support decision-making.
