I am a professor at the University of Helsinki working at the intersection of computer science, complex systems and evolutionary biology. I lead a research group developing computational methods for studying long-term change processes, including macroevolutionary dynamics, ecological transformations, and societal change. A core part of my work underpinning all this focuses on formalizing AI for science, addressing robustness, bias and responsibility when learned models are used in high-stakes contexts.
