Tanja Tarvainen completed her doctoral degree in the University of Kuopio in 2006 on modelling light transport in biological tissues. After graduation, she has worked as a research associate in the University College London and Academy Research Fellow and Associate Professor in the University of Eastern Finland. Currently, she is a Professor of Computational Imaging and Modelling in the University of Eastern Finland. Her research interests include computational and Bayesian inverse problems, uncertainty quantification, and radiative transfer. She is especially interested in tomography using light and coupled physics, such as photoacoustic, and she received an ERC-CoG 2020 for her research on quantitative coupled physics tomography. She is the director of the FAME Flagship.
