Hello,
Hello,
I work as an adjunct professor and a senior research fellow at the Tampere University of Technology (TUT), department of mathematics, hypermedia laboratory. My responsibilities include teaching and managing the studies of hypermedia (a main subject in the information technology undergraduate program), managing the W3C Finnish office, and various projects.
My educational background is computer science (MSc) and mathematics (DSc (Tech)). My personal research interests include applications of logic in information technology, mechanic inference and machine learning, (computer-supported) mathematics and education, information modelling and visualisation, and the related (Web) applications. This work yields into applications in, e.g., structured documents, knowledge management, and intelligent-kind-of systems.
The practical aspect of my work is related to Web technologies. Apart from my other publications etc. (see TUT Portfolio, choose year(s) and search according to Author "Nykänen, O."), I have also written few text books about some popular Web technologies in Finnish. Among other things, I teach, e.g., Semantic techniques and applications (a "Semantic Web course") at TUT.
I was born in Kouvola, Finland (in 1972), studied in Jyväskylä, and live today in Tampere. I spend my spare time with my family and friends, travel, read, play, exercise, and think whatever occurs to me.
