Team members
The core team currently includes two PhD students, Andriana Koutsandrea and Henna Yliluikki, and the project’s principal investigator, Jonna Engström-Öst. We are based at Novia University of Applied Sciences, Campus Raseborg. In summer and autumn 2025, we will also be joined by two research interns. We are working closely with our collaborators throughout the project. Our main partners are Katja Anttila from the University of Turku and Soultana Zervoudaki from the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, with more to be added as the project develops.

Henna Yliluikki
Project Researcher, PhD-student
I hold a Master of Science in Molecular Biosciences and a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, with minors in Chemistry and Environmental Science from the University of Turku
Nature, natural resources, and molecular biology fascinate me, so I am enthusiastic about this ongoing research, where my passions are combined. My goal is to complete my PhD dissertation as part of this project.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time in nature, preferably with endurance sports such as orienteering, cross-country skiing and cycling.
