I am a geophysicist working for the geoenergy research team on the Energy and Construction Solutions Group (ERR) of the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK). GTK is the leading geoscientific research institute in Finland.

The main emphasis of my work is modelling and simulating heat transfer phenomena in geological media as well as inside borehole heat exchangers. This includes simulating the operation of shallow geothermal borehole fields and medium-deep borehole heat exchangers.

I use the finite element method and analytical models to solve computational problems. The finite element codes I use include COMSOL Multiphysics® and OpenGeoSys. I mostly write my own codes for solving analytical models using Python and the fantastic pygfunction module.

Please feel free to contact me. You can find my contact info in the Contact section.
