Finnish Physical Society:

Finnish Young Minds:

I am a member of Finnish Young Minds (FYM) board, the division of Finnish Physical Society. In 2021 as a treasurer, currently in 2022 as a vice-chairman.

FYM brings together young physicists all over Finland. In 2021 FYM launched a webinar series that is now titled “Physics Smoothies” where physicists have given diverse presentations, e.g. about their career paths, research at different Finnish universities and how to write a good academic CV.

In 2023 together with SFMO we started an Instagram account for all physics university students in Finland: instagram.com/fresh.physics.

FYM has their own Discord Server open for all physics students and young researchers to join: discord.gg/v5tjDYe8mY.

Diversity in Physics, Finland:

I am a member of Finnish Diversity in Physics (FinDiP) group, which is a working group of Finnish Physical Society. I joined the group in 2022.

The specific aims of FinDiP are to:

  • educate and encourage postgraduate students and postdocs to pursue a career in physics, with a goal of making sure the people in our field better represent society as a whole,
  • increase opportunities for students and young researchers to find tutors, mentors and role models with whom they identify,
  • increase opportunities for researchers from diverse and minoritized backgrounds to exchange information and network with their peers,
  • increase the visibility of physicists from underrepresented groups,
  • identify and remove obstacles that reinforce iniquity in the career development of physicists from different
  • backgrounds, and
  • maintain an international network with other organizations representing and supporting scientists from under-represented and minoritized groups.

University of Turku:

I was a member of Education Development Working Group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy in 2017-2021. The aim of the group is to develop physics and astronomy courses and study modules.
