Biography:

Ari Jolma was born in Turku, Finland in 1962. He received the M.Sc.(Tech) and D.Sc.(Tech) degree in civil engineering from the Helsinki University of Technology (TKK), Finland in 1990 and 1999 respectively. In August 2003 he joined the faculties in Surveying and Civil Engineering at TKK as a professor of geoinformatics. Since 2008 Prof. Jolma has worked in Civil and Environmental Engineering at TKK (since 2010 Aalto University) as a professor of Environmental Planning and Management Information Technology.

Mr. Jolma studied 1990-1991 at the Cornell University, USA as a visiting graduate student. From 1994 to 1995 he was a young scientist and a research associate at IIASA, Austria, and from 2002 to 2003 he was a visiting scientist at IDSIA, Switzerland. Dr Jolma has served at the boards of several Finnish and international academic and professional organizations including iEMSs, OSGeo, RYM doctoral school, and FIUGINET. He represented Finland in the UNESCO IHP from 2003 to 2008 and worked with the World Bank from 1999 to 2001 and in the Mekong River Commission, Cambodia in 2002. He is currently an associate editor of Environmental Modelling & Software.

Research interests:

Prof. Jolma has a broad interest in using modeling, computational aids, and information systems in civil and environmental engineering, and environmental management. His research on information systems for water and environmental management focuses on distributed, collaborative, geospatial, free and open source, and object-oriented methods and technologies. The result has been several software packages, applications, and information systems in addition to publications.
