Mika Juvela

Mika Juvela serves as a Lecturer at the Department of Physics, University of Helsinki. His research focuses on astrophysics, particularly on star formation, interstellar clouds, and molecular gas dynamics.

• Projects: Leading the Academy of Finland project "From Filaments to Stars - Star formation in the Milky Way" (2022-2026) and previously "Multiscale Observations and Modeling of Star Formation" (2015-2019).
• Research Trends: Recent publications (2025) analyze hot cores, SiO emission origins, and dust emission in filaments using ALMA, Herschel, and ArTéMiS data. Methodologies include escape probability modeling and synthetic observations.
• Activities: Active in conference organization (e.g., Cold Cores 2024), peer review, academic hosting, and public seminars. Co-organizer of ALMA-ATOMS/QUARKS workshop 2024.
• Labs: Member of the Astrophysics Laboratory at the Department of Physics.
• Collaborations: Works with international teams across Chile, Finland, and beyond, specializing in ALMA data interpretation and interstellar medium studies.
