Kai Puolamäki

Olen professori (ma., 1.8.2009-31.7.2010) Teknillisen korkeakoulun (TKK) Mediatekniikan laitoksella. Olen virkavapaalla TKK:n Tietojenkäsittelytieteen laitoksen tutkimuskoordinaattorin virasta. Olen tavattavissa sopimuksen mukaan.

I am a professor (pro tem, Aug 2009-July 2010) at the Department of Media Technology at Helsinki University of Technology (TKK). After my PhD in theoretical physics in 2001, I have worked as lecturing researcher in the Department of Information and Computer Science at TKK with, e.g., the Data Mining Group in Otaniemi, and from 2009 onwards as a research coordinator (on leave of absence during Aug 2009-July 2010). My other affiliations include the Algorithmic Data Analysis Research Programme of the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT as well as Algodan, a Finnish Centre of Excellence in Research. I am also an Adjunct Professor (dosentti) at the Department of Information and Computer Science, TKK.

My research interests include data mining, machine learning and related algorithms, or broadly, computational methods of data analysis. The application areas I have worked in include user modeling (especially modeling of eye movements) and ecological data analysis, including paleontology. [short biography]

I have planned and lectured several courses in computer and information science, including a post-graduate level course T-61.5010 Information visualization (lectured yearly 2001-2008) and a bachelor level course T-61.3050 Machine Learning: Basic Principles (lectured yearly 2007-2008). Currently, I am responsible for the Bachelor's Seminar of the Degree Programme of Computer Science and Engineering.
