I currently work as a Senior Lecturer in Finnish Literature within Literary Studies and as the Director of Narrare: Centre for Interdisciplinary Narrative Studies at Tampere University, Finland. I hold a PhD in Literature and the Title of Docent in Literature from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland.

My postdoctoral research focuses on the contemporary Finnish experimental novel from three perspectives:

1. The place, form, and value of the book object (codex) in digital environments
2. The role of the author in these contexts
3. Fictional narrative representations and variations on the concept of democracy

The topic of my doctoral thesis (University of Jyväskylä, 2020) was the experimental poetics of the contemporary Finnish novel Neuromaani by Jaakko Yli-Juonikas, with a particular focus on the materiality and paratextuality of the book object.

My areas of expertise include experimental literature, poetics, the contemporary Finnish novel, theories of transtextuality, new materialism, authorship studies, book objects, intermediality in literature, literary experiments and avant-garde, as well as (print) literature on digital platforms.
