I am a postdoctoral researcher working at the Department of Applied Physics at Aalto University. I did my PhD studies at the Department of Physics at the University of Helsinki. See here for my list of publications.
As a theoretical physicist by training, I got interested in fundamental quantum chemistry. I also don't mind getting my hands dirty with writing (or debugging) code. My most significant work so far has been ERKALE, which is a Hartree-Fock / density-functional theory SCF program, focusing on the modeling of x-ray properties. I'd be happy to hear if you have found the program useful.
Lately I have been working on the study of basis set completeness. The newest completeness-optimization work has been done with ERKALE. Before ERKALE I was involved as a developer in the Kruununhaka basis set tool kit (Google Code site). You can find my basis sets at the EMSL Basis Set Exchange.
Partly in relation to my scientific interests, I am also involved as a package maintainer in the Fedora project. For more information see my Fedora homepage.
