Research interests
In my docoral research, I examine the mechanisms of sociospatial segregation combining linguistics, language technology, and urban studies. The aim of the research is to clarify the role of language use in the process of segergation in order to prevent socio-spatial inequality and develop cities that are more equal.
My research interests also include the development and utilization of Finnish language models, as well as AI literacy and the pedagogical use of AI in higher education.
