I am a postdoctoral researcher in cognitive neuroscience at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. My research investigates how interactions between brain activity and bodily physiology, particularly cardiac and respiratory rhythms, shape attention, learning, and adaptive cognition across adulthood.
I currently work within the LearnDigi project, where I investigate the role of cardiorespiratory rhythms in technology-supported learning environments. My broader research examines how neural and autonomic processes coordinate during cognitive tasks, and whether the capacity to reorganise these interactions in response to changing demands helps explain individual differences in cognitive flexibility and cognitive ageing.
I completed my PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Jyväskylä. My research has been supported by competitive international and national funding, including the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network and the Ella and Georg Ehrnrooth Foundation.
My expertise includes multimodal physiological data acquisition and analysis, including EEG, MEG, ECG, EMG, and respiration, as well as event-related potentials, time-frequency analysis, source and region-of-interest analysis, connectivity, brain–body coupling, experimental design, and statistical modelling. I also supervise student theses and contribute to interdisciplinary international research collaborations.
