Jarkko Salojärvi

I am currently doing bioinformatics research at University of Helsinki at the plant stress research group and at Willem de Vos research group at Veterinary Microbiology and Epidemiology.

Until August 2009, I was a lecturing researcher (pro tem) at the Statistical Machine Learning and Bioinformatics research group in the Department of Information and Computer Science of Helsinki University of Technology.
Part of the duties as lecturer was being the academic coordinator (on behalf of TKK) of the Master's Degree Programme in Bioinformatics (MBI), jointly organized with University of Helsinki. Questions regarding those topics can be directed to my successor, Fabien Hoti. The MBI programme forms a part of the new Erasmus Mundus Master's Course in Systems Biology (euSYSBIO), a joint programme with KTH at Stockholm and IST at Lisbon.

My earlier research projects include the Proactive Information Retrieval by Adaptive Models of Users' Attention and Interests (PRIMA), and WEBSOM.
