Professor Otso Ovaskainen holds a permanent position at the University of Helsinki, where he serves as Research Director in the Organismal and Evolutionary Biology Research Program. He is also a Visiting Professor at a Norwegian Centre of Excellence since 2014.
- Supervisor in the Doctoral Programme in Wildlife Biology
- Established the Research Center for Ecological Change (REC) with 60+ members
- ERC Starting Grant recipient (2008-2013)
Research Interests: Ovaskainen bridges mathematical theory with empirical ecology, focusing on metapopulation dynamics, movement ecology, and statistical community ecology. His work integrates:
- Ecological theory with data
- Individual-based modeling
- Fungal community dynamics
- Probabilistic taxonomic placement
- Environmental DNA analysis
- Multi-species movement modeling
Scientific Leadership: He has led major projects including the Finnish Centre of Excellence in Metapopulation Research (2015-2017) and the LIFEPLAN biodiversity inventory project (2020-2026). His HMSC modeling framework remains a benchmark in joint species distribution modeling.
