Our primary interest is currently workplaces and employees as well as university students. For research and project-related matters, please contact Henna Asikainen or Nina Katajavuori.
My research deals with questions concerning students' well-being and how to promote it during university studies. I also am interested in the relationship between well-being and learning processes. We use multi-method approach in our research comprising quantitative, qualitative and biophysical measures. In my work as a senior lecturer I try to think about ways to improve student learning and well-being with pedagogical solutions. In my opinion, concentrating on student well-being and thinking about ways to improve it is very important in university studies. During my free time, I love to pick mushrooms and go swimming with my children.

My research interests include the multidisciplinary connections between well-being and learning, and the development and research of evidence-based interventions to support well-being in learning environments. My background educations are Master of Education and Master of Health Sciences, majoring in general and adult education, and gerontology and public health. As on occupational therapist my goal is to help people make most of their abilities and to thrive participating in occupations that are meaningful to them. During my free time I enjoy participating in outdoors activities with my children, reading and developing recipes suitable for different special diets.

I have been a part of the faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Helsinki for over 30 years, currently as Senior University Lecturer in the Centre for Social Data Science. My research and teaching activities are related to methods of social data science (e.g., structural equation models), and in general to multivariate statistical analysis and data visualization.
By now, my research has focused at investigating the mechanisms of human auditory cognition, emotion, and expertise. Currently I investigate the possibilities of music to support well-being and learning. In future, I will focus my efforts to reveal the basic neurocognitive and motivational mechanisms of learning in real-life contexts using multimethodological and interdisplicinary approach.
