I am a research scientist at the University of Helsinki, where I co-lead the Exploratory Search and Personalization (ESP) research group with Dorota Glowacka.

My research interests are related to information seeking, interactive systems and user experience. In particular, I am interested in how we can support users performing exploratory search: where users are trying to learn about or investigate unfamiliar topics and have complex, evolving information needs.

I am currently working on projects related to user experience modeling, interactive image retrieval, and applications of virtual reality to search.
