Biography

Roope Uola received his PhD from the University of Siegen in 2018. After a short postdoc at the University of Siegen, he moved to the University of Geneva for a postdoc in 2019. In 2022, he won the SNF Ambizione grant and was a junior group leader at the University of Geneva until 2024. In the end of 2024, he started as an assistant professor at Uppsala University.
