Professional career
Can be roughly divided into three different parts:
Years 1973 - 1981
PhD in mathematics in 1973, University of Helsinki.
Theoretical studies and research in Fuctional Analysis,
University of Helsinki and Helsinki University of Technology.
Student of professor Klaus Vala who started a seminar
in functional analysis at the University of Helsinki in 1970.
I continued running the seminar, initially together with Klaus Vala
and later with some other colleagues and/or students of mine.
The seminar is still active,
as you can see.
