Anu Tuomela

Me as a passionate expert and researcher

I work as a Customer Manager and Digipedamentor at the Faculty of Science. As a Customer Manager in our faculty, you can turn to me regarding the following themes:

• Education and working life cooperation, educational business
• Research partnerships with companies and stakeholders
• Marketing and identifying marketing channels

As a Digipedamentor, the staff working in education can turn to me with any teaching-related questions. Here are a few examples:

• Finding suitable digital tools and supporting their use
• Increasing the coherence of students' work
• Planning teaching to meet various needs in a versatile manner
• Developing various guidelines in collaboration with service units and other faculties, most recently guidelines for the use of AI in theses

In the field of research, I am finalizing my doctoral dissertation in the Nano and Molecular Systems Research Unit. My doctoral research focuses on utilizing visible light emission, or luminescence, in materials research, as well as applying optical spectroscopy during the steel production process. In the field of education, I have conducted research related to counselling students in higher education.
