Biography

I am a evolutionary demographer/biologist at the University of Turku in the INVEST Flagship and PREDLIFE project. I have a broad interest in cooperation and conflict within families, particularly the role of altruism in the evolution of life histories. My current research focuses on the impacts of parental leave on the life course, and how policy changes in this area have affected life course trajectories. I have often taken an interdisciplinary angle with my work, combining evolutionary theory and approaches from the biological literature with historical, sociological, and demographic perspectives.
