I am a grant-funded Postdoctoral Researcher at the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences. My key areas of expertise are exercise psychology and physical activity epidemiology.
I am currently examining the roles of physical activity domains, motivational factors, and the psychosocial environment in youth mental health, with a particular focus on school-based physical activity and organised sports. The project is funded by the Juho Vainio Foundation.
Additionally, I am working in the CHILD-SLEEP project, where my research focuses on the moderating role of sleep in the association between physical activity and mental health among children and adolescents. I am also exploring the associations between early motor skill development and later psychosocial wellbeing.
