- Doctor of Theology (University of Helsinki)
- Master of Arts in Spatial Design (Taideteollinen korkeakoulu)
- Bachelor of Arts in Spatial Design (Taideteollinen korkeakoulu)
Dhima's research explores intersections between sacred spaces, architectural design, and community engagement. Key areas include altar space theology, user participation in construction processes, and modern Finnish church architecture analysis.
Their scholarly output since 2001 reveals evolving interests: early work focused on spatial design fundamentals (2001-2005), mid-career shifted toward theological interpretations of architecture (2009-2015), and recent publications examine participatory design (2019-2021). Notable trends include interdisciplinary approaches merging art, theology, and urban development.
Dhima has contributed to academic conferences since 2004, with 2017 featuring multiple presentations on lighting design and 2020 serving as a doctoral thesis examiner. Their 2010 project 'T3: Healthcare Production Economics' demonstrates broader spatial economy interests beyond religious contexts.
