I work as a Postdoctoral researcher at the Humanitarian Logistics and Supply chain research Institute, Hanken School of Economics. My current research in the EU-funded project sCience & human factOr for Resilient sociEty (CORE, grant agreement No 101021746), is exploring how the security of supply is organized within the disaster management and disaster risk reduction frameworks in the EU. Within that scope, I am particularly interested in citizens’ home preparedness, the role of citizens for the security of supply and supply chain resilience, and how preparedness advice are communicated to citizens. In an Academy of Finland -funded project Cash and/or carry: The challenges and modalities of delivering aid in conflict zones (No 3037), I am studying how different aid modalities are discussed in the news media at the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine.
I received my PhD in 2017 at the University of Jyväskylä, Department of Communication, with my PhD focusing on crisis communication in the case of terrorism. My previous work experience includes research in an EU-funded project CATO (CBRN crisis management: Architecture, Technologies and Operational Procedures) dealing with crisis management in the case of terrorism using chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear devices. My research in crisis communication is multidisciplinary in nature drawing from communication sciences, organizational studies, psychology and (crisis) management, with a focus on public sector organisations and their communication with citizens and other stakeholders. At Jyväskylä University School of Business and Economics (JSBE), I worked as a University teacher at the Corporate Communication discipline.
