Research Experience

Research Positions

Multiobjective Optimization Group, University of Jyväskylä, Finland

Post-doctoral Researcher, 2024, ongoing

I am working in the Research Council of Finland funded project DESIDES. My main research interest is continuing the line of work I established in my doctoral thesis, where I study and apply the concept of explainability in interactive multiobejective optimization methods.

Multiobjective Optimization Group, University of Jyväskylä, Finland

Doctoral Researcher, 2020 - 2024

Working on my doctoral thesis and developing the DESDEO framework. My thesis work was about applying and exploring the concept of explainability, as it is known in explainable artificial intelligence, to interactive multiobjective optimization methods. The goal of the research was to improve the decision-support capabilities of interactive multiobjective optimization methods.

Multiobjective Optimization Group, University of Jyväskylä, Finland

Research Assistant, 2019 - 2020

I mainly worked on my master's thesis and on DESDEO, the open source Python software framework for interactive multiobjective optimization. Other tasks involved web-development and supporting the research group members in various technical aspects.

CERN, Switzerland

Trainee, summer of 2018

I worked on building deep neural networks to predict particle trajectories in the CMS (compact muon solenoid) detector. I utilized Keras to build and train a deep convoluted neural network, and utilized real experiment data to train the model utilizing supervised learning.

Center for Underground Physics, Finland

Trainee, summer of 2017

In the C14 experiment, I worked on signal analysis of data produced by photo-multiplier tubes, and conducted practical hands-on work with various apparatuses related to the experiment. In the EMMA experiment, I worked on basic upkeep and maintenance of the experiment, including the setup of a working gas circulation system for a set of pixel matrix detectors utilizing very limited resources.

LNGS (Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso), Italy

Trainee, summer of 2016

I was part of the DAMA collaboration. I worked on the maintenance of various experiments in the DAMA project. I also completed a project involving computer vision and machine learning, where I built a program to read the output of a webcam and infer the digits on a 8-segment temperature gauge.

Research Projects

DESIDES

Research Council of Finland, 2023 - ongoing, project id: 355346

I am in charge of one of the three work packages of the project. In the work package, I continue to research the concept and application of explainable and interactive multiobjective optimization, a topic I explored in my doctoral thesis.

Logistics order-supply chain modelling and optimization

University of Jyväskylä, Tietoevry, 2023 - ongoing

Modelling and solving multiobjective optimization problems related to order-supply chains. Due to confidential reasons, no more details can be given at this time.

DAEMON

Research Council of Finland, 2019 - 2023, project id: 322221

I kept contributing to the DESDEO framework, focusing on the development of web-based user interfaces for interactive multiobjective optimization. The work led to publications, where the interfaces have been utilized to conduct user studies to evaluate the decision-support capabilities of various interactive multiobjective optimization methods. I also contributed to studies related to lot-sizing, and researching the semantic distances of icons in user interfaces for interactive multiobjective optimization methods.

DESDEO

Research Council of Finland, 2015 - 2019, project id: 287496

I contributed to the DESDEO framework, spearheading its re-implementation. I focused on the tools to model multiobjective optimization problems, and on implementing scalarization-based interactive multiobjective optimization methods.
