I find it very disturbing that President Obama still keeps people in prison in Guantanamo without any legal process, thereby violating their human rights.
In my opinion, the "New salary system" (Uusi palkkausjärjestelmä, UPJ) might suit a commercial entreprise but not the University.
I started working at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Helsinki in 1988, and I got my Ph.D. in 1991. Since that time, I've been a member of the Helsinki Logic Group. I'm mainly interested in set theory, finite models, and infinitary languages. Lately (in 2002) I've resumed my research of first-order definability in rings of complex analytic functions. I have some publications outside logic as well.
I am supervising the postgraduate studies of Eljas Törneblom, who already has some new results on more general function rings.

On my personal page I tell more about myself, my opinions and my life.
In case you're curious, you can look at some statistics on visits to my pages.
In spring 2012, I can be reached in my office A413 on Mondays at 1:00 - 2:00 PM and on Tuesdays at 2:30 - 3:30 PM.
I prefer PGP encrypted mail. For casual use, the keys marked "insecure" suffice just fine. Their insecurity is directly linked with their convenience of use.
