• Curriculum Vitae (updated May08)

I am a Solution Development Manager in the Network Technology group in Nokia Siemens Networks. I am working on wireless broadband access systems such as WiMAX, LTE, I-HSPA, HSPA and WiFi. My focus is on end-to-end performance of streaming applications (e.g. VoIP) and on multiradio interworking solutions. Previously, I also worked with the Nokia Multimedia group.

I went to school at Helsinki Univ. of Technology, where I got a M.Sc.(’05) and am also carying out a PhD (expected ‘08) in the Telecommunications department. My minor studies are in Bioinformatics and Multimedia Technologies.
