Biography

Dr. Christina Biasi obtained her PhD in Biology from University of Vienna in 2005. Currently she is working as University Researcher (Assistant Professor-level; Yliotutkia) at the Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Eastern Finland. Her working experience includes Doctoral position at the Department of Chemical Ecology and Ecosystem Research, Vienna (Austria), Biology Lecturer at High School, Vienna, and Senior Assistant and Post Doctoral position at University of Kuopio. She is also working on many funding projects. She supervised 10 Masters and Bachelor students, number of PhD students currently in her supervision. She is also reviewer in several scientific journals. She is also an organizer and participant in several Arctic Field Ecological Expeditions. She is former member of the Austrian IRMS user group. She is Collaborative Partner and Researcher in several national and international projects on carbon and nitrogen cycling and microbial processes in northern soils.
