She has received research funding from the Academy of Finland on a regular basis. Her research now includes sustainability aspects of BNF, especially regarding legumes and inoculation in Ethiopian and Finnish agriculture, as well as soil quality from a trans-disciplinary perspective. She led the Helsinki University Challenge science competition team Ground and Growth 2014-15. She has published 138 peer reviewed scientific papers, 10 book chapters and many popular scientific articles, and often appears in media.
