I am an environmental social scientist studying how Northern communities live with and after resource infrastructures — from mines and hydropower to wind energy and cloud technologies.
I am an Academy Research Fellow at the University of Oulu (Finland) and Principal Investigator of the project From a Void to the Cloud? Data Centres in the Afterlives of Arctic Industries (DATAVOID) (2026–2030), funded by the Research Council of Finland. I received my PhD in Environmental Sciences and Policy from Central European University in 2019.
Informally, I also go by Ania (or in Veps, An’a). I grew up in Karelia, with Veps as my heritage language – experiences that still shape my interest in ethnographic research and the North.
