Viivi Halla-aho

Viivi Halla-aho has a diverse work experience in various roles related to data analysis, research, and teaching. Viivi started their career as a Summer Trainee at the Finnish Meteorological Institute, where they conducted research for their Bachelor's thesis. Viivi worked on testing classification methods for quality control of remote sensing aerosol measurements and assisted in operational tasks.

Viivi then joined Aalto University as a Research Assistant, where they implemented a Poisson mixture model for detecting chromatin interactions using sequencing data for their Master's thesis. Viivi also worked as a Teaching Assistant for the First Course in Probability and Statistics, conducting weekly exercise sessions and grading exams.

Following that, Viivi joined Eniram Oy as a Junior Analyst, gaining experience in the field of data analysis. Viivi then returned to Aalto University as a Doctoral Candidate in the Computational Systems Biology Research Group. Viivi'sdoctoral research focused on probabilistic modeling of DNA methylation sequencing data, along with processing and analyzing sequencing data. Viivi also took on additional responsibilities, such as instructing bachelor's and master's theses and working as a teaching assistant in a High-throughput bioinformatics course.

After completing their doctoral studies, Viivi worked as a Data Analyst at HUS Helsingin yliopistollinen sairaala. Viivi was involved in a collaboration research project focused on developing machine learning methods for using external controls in clinical trials. Viivi'sresponsibilities included performing data picks and feasibility checks at the HUS datalake and participating in the research.

Currently, Viivi is working as a Data Scientist at BC Platforms, where they apply their skills and knowledge in the field of data science.

Viivi Halla-aho started their education in 2007 at Kärsämäen lukio, where they completed their secondary education. Viivi then enrolled at Aalto University in 2010 and obtained a Bachelor of Science (Technology) in Engineering Physics and Mathematics in 2013. Continuing their studies at Aalto University, they pursued a Master of Science (Technology) in Engineering Physics and Mathematics from 2013 to 2015.

In 2014, Viivi Halla-aho briefly studied at DTU - Technical University of Denmark, although the degree name and field of study for this period are not specified in the information provided.

Between 2016 and 2022, Viivi attended Aalto University once again, this time pursuing a Doctor of Science (Technology) degree in Information and Computer Science, with a specialization in Computational Systems Biology.

As for additional certifications, Viivi Halla-aho obtained a certification in Cloud Platforms from FITech Network University in March 2023, and a certification in GIT from the same institution in August 2022.
