I am a senior researcher at the University of Jyväskylä, working as part of the YEAH project for holistic health in young people. I also conduct regular research in collaboration with Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia, focusing on health psychology and behavioural medicine.
Overall, my research is based on modelling the determinants of healthy or unhealthy behaviour, with a particular interest in dual process models of behaviour, investigating the extent to which behaviour is enacted automatically, and the situations and contexts which encourage automatic or deliberative responding.
