In his own words about FLAM:
My time with FLAM positively influenced my career. This project has brought together exceptional professionals and has had a significant impact on the wildland fire research community. The collaboration and shared knowledge have been essential to my development.
Bio
I’m currently a PhD researcher at the University of Eastern Finland, School of Forest Sciences. I focus on forest structural diversity and remote sensing technologies. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities and sports. I used to play hockey regularly but haven’t been as active lately—planning to change that soon.
Specialization
During my time at IIASA, I worked on spatial dataset preparation and forest fire occurrence model development in Sweden, with valuable guidance from Andrey Krasovskiy and Florian Kraxner, who provided me with practical assistance and mentorship.
