PhD Researcher, Tampere University, Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation

Talent acquisition (covering recruitment, selection, and team assembly) interests me in all sorts of ways, with particular focus on:

• Decision-making (expert judgment, algorithms, and a combination of these)
• Experiences with (emerging) information technology
• Digital ethics considerations (e.g., privacy, and fairness)
• The design and user experiences of new digital tools
