PhD Researcher | AI & Software Testing
Åbo Akademi University

Researching intelligent test automation with GANs. Passionate about machine learning, search-based software engineering, and powerlifting.

About Me

My research focuses on advancing software engineering through intelligent automation, specifically in the domain of cyber-physical system testing. I work on developing novel GAN-based methodologies to automatically generate test cases for complex systems, aiming to improve both efficiency and coverage in the testing process.

With a strong foundation in search-based software engineering and test automation, I'm driven by the challenge of solving complex problems at the cutting edge of software engineering research. My work combines theoretical research with practical applications, contributing to more robust and reliable cyber-physical systems.

Current Work

Åbo Akademi University

PhD Researcher 2022 - Present

Developing novel GAN-based methodologies for automated test case generation in cyber-physical systems. Conducting research in search-based software engineering and test automation to improve efficiency and coverage in complex system testing.

Machine Learning Engineer

Everon Oy Ab 2022 - 2022

Developed machine learning solutions for welfare technologies, including an in‑house client welfare monitoring system based on pose detection. The system performs on‑device / edge inference and only transmits anonymized pose vectors and events (falls, unusual inactivity, posture changes), ensuring full privacy so no human can access raw camera feeds; providing real‑time alerts and aggregated, privacy‑preserving analytics for caregivers.
