I am an innovator who is improving the quality of people’s lives in two distinct ways:

1) by providing technological solutions to take care of people and to improve indoor air quality.

2) by providing satisfaction and pride to people's everyday life via exceptional watches, Aittokoski Timecrafts.

I am a specialist in optimization, data & sensitivity analysis, and metamodeling; techniques enabling intelligent R & D solutions. I have a solid background and understanding in signal processing, machine vision, different mechanical devices and systems, and also in human physiology.

With optimization algorithms and tools, one can find parameters of design that produce the best possible product, process, yield, etc. This is a very difficult task for humans.

Data-analysis allows finding critical patterns or groups in data. For example, changes in the vibration pattern of a machine may indicate dangerous wear, or changes in heart rate variability may indicate too high stress levels in human beings.

Sensitivity analysis allows the modeler to identify the most important parameters of the model, and thus improve it.

With metamodeling, it is possible to use models that are otherwise difficult to utilize: too demanding, too noisy, too unstable. Or to model the data itself without understanding the physics, chemistry, etc. under it.
