Ella Peltonen is an Assistant Professor at the M3S research unit, University of Oulu, Finland. She joined the Ubicomp Oulu research centre and 6Genesis research programme in November 2018. Prior to this position, she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Insight Centre for Data Analytics in Cork, Ireland. She completed her PhD in the Nodes group at the University of Helsinki, Finland, working on the Carat project of collaborative energy diagnostics for mobile devices. Her educational background includes: PhD in Computer Science, University of Helsinki, Finland (Carat project on collaborative energy diagnostics) Ella Peltonen's research focuses on ubiquitous computing, large-scale data analysis, and applied machine learning. Her work particularly emphasizes everyday sensing and mobile and wearable devices. She aims to apply machine learning algorithms to large, complex data in real-time systems, with a focus on distributed machine learning and data analysis of smart devices. Her research spans various applications including energy consumption monitoring of mobile devices, wearable technology for measuring physiological signals, and exploring future sensing technologies. Peltonen has expressed interest in how future devices might sense human states, become smarter, and provide greater benefits, potentially through innovations like augmented reality glasses or subcutaneous chips. Analysis of her recent publications shows a strong focus on edge computing, vehicular networks, and sustainable computing systems. Her work bridges the gap between theoretical machine learning approaches and practical applications in transportation, healthcare, and environmental monitoring. Many of her papers address challenges in distributed systems, real-time data processing, and privacy-preserving techniques for edge intelligence. Her notable scientific awards include: Nominated to the list of 10 Rising Stars in Networking and Communications by N2 Women 2017 Selected as one of 50 Finnish Researchers by the Finnish Union of University Researchers and Teachers Nokia Scholarship 2015 and 2016 Jorma Ollila Grant 2018 Young Teacher of the Year 2012 Young Researcher of the Year 2015 Peltonen is actively involved in teaching and mentoring, with a teaching philosophy focused on supporting students' independent learning rather than lecturing from above. She enjoys guiding small groups where she can discuss topics together with students and get to know them personally. As a researcher, she describes herself as precise, detail-oriented, and committed to verifying the correctness of her work carefully. She values the combination of mathematical work with experimental work and creativity in technology, noting that research tasks are diverse and can apply different types of methodology. She is part of international research collaborations with several major universities worldwide, as required by Finnish Academy funding. Peltonen is also an advocate for diversity in technology fields, noting that technology is used by all kinds of people from various backgrounds, yet the producers of technology lack diversity. She has highlighted the importance of encouraging more women to pursue technology careers from an early age.
