About me
I am now a doctoral student in the Faculty of Social Sciences at Tampere University (2020-2023). I am studying the therapeutic effects of nature sounds on human health, especially targetting at people who cannot go out because of unavoidable circumstances.
Top achievements
In 2019, my colleagues and I conducted a pioneering study in Japan which was to investigate whether nature sounds could be restorative for surgeons after surgery. An article on it will be published in spring 2020.
