I’m a cognitive scientist, game enthusiast, and gambling researcher. I have a PhD and the title of docent in cognitive science from the University of Helsinki where I used to work as a university lecturer. I also have the title of docent in the study of games and well-being at Tampere University. Currently I work as a senior researcher at the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare on gambling harm prevention.

I’ve published 67 scientific papers (57 peer-reviewed) on topics covering, but not limited to, emotions and decision-making, poker expertise, gambling, psychology of deception, personality, memory, and moral psychology of robotics. I’m interested and deeply involved in statistics, data wrangling, analysis and visualization.
