Research
I got my PhD. in Computer Science on 20.12.2007 at University Of Helsinki. Up to July 2012, I was PostDoc at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute near Cambridge, UKMy research intrests are bioinformatics and computational biology. My training in Uni. Helsinki is based on algorithmics so I prefer "nice and neat" combinatorial problems with clear answers. Of course biology is not usually nice and neat.

Photography
I've started a new hobby on Black and White photography. Joined the
Ylioppilaskamerat, took the Black and White course and started
shooting. Some of the results can be seen here.
Old School work and Sofware
I have completed my studies and a lot of
things have been done during that time. I have done some exercises
such as
- Skedulointi, kuormituksen tasaus,
robotin navigaatio. (Seminar presentation laskarimallit)
- Heuristically Optimized Tradoffs. Power
Laws in graphs. (Seminar presentation)
- Introduction to programming
- Informationsystems (user admin interfaces)
- data structures
- Linquistics (Phonology, morphology, syntax and
orthology)
- History Of Computer Science (Paper
and slides)
Supplemental Data
During the academic year 2000-2001 I was in ISEP exchange in University Of South Carolina in Columbia South-Carolina, USA. From there I have a lot of pictures.
Last but not the least, my TKK91 simulator (available also in RPM for RedHat users. Version RH 7.3 and RH 9.0 Courtesy Jonas Franz) got a whole lot more popular when our department blocked all MS-Windows logins due to security concerns just when Computer Organization I course need the old KOKSI simulator.
