Iivo Vehviläinen serves as Professor of Practice in the Department of Economics at Aalto University, specializing in applied microeconomics with emphasis on energy markets, market structures, and regulatory frameworks. His expertise stems from a PhD in mathematical finance applied to Nordic electricity markets, complemented by extensive industry experience in the energy sector. Current research focuses on renewable energy impacts on hydro-dominated markets, utility strategic responses to energy transitions, and demand-side technology economics. His research program centers on three interconnected themes: (1) wind power integration effects in Nordic hydro systems, (2) incumbent utility adaptation strategies (particularly nuclear power in Sweden), and (3) economic viability and distributional consequences of demand response and battery storage technologies. These investigations address critical challenges in electricity market design during the energy transition, emphasizing equilibrium impacts, regulatory effectiveness, and societal distributional effects. Analysis of recent publications (2020-2025) reveals consistent focus on electricity market design challenges, renewable integration dynamics, and policy responses to energy crises. His work demonstrates strong empirical grounding in Nordic and European contexts, with recurring themes of market equilibrium analysis, regulatory intervention effectiveness, and distributional consequences across households and industries. Scientific recognition includes: AEI Award (Department of Economics, January 2023) The Societal Influencer of the Year 2022 for contributions during the Energy Crisis (Department of Economics, January 2023) While the source material indicates active research leadership and industry engagement, specific details regarding academic advising, research grants, laboratory facilities, or formal research teams were not provided. His industry background informs practical policy applications, particularly regarding market design solutions for contemporary energy challenges.
