Stefan Heinänen

Stefan Heinänen är överlärare, utbildningsansvarig och forskare vid institutionen för bioekonomi. Stefan är spatiell ekolog med nyckelkompetens inom modellering av artutbredning, GIS, statistiska tillämpningar och rumslig planering. Stefan genomförde både sin magister- och doktorandstudier vid Åbo Akademi. Titeln på hans doktorsavhandling var “From Individual species to communities – Modelling spatial patterns of breeding bird species in a complex and changing landscape”. 

Efter examen arbetade Stefan som miljöbiolog vid DHI i Danmark mellan 2010 och 2019. Under sin tid på DHI arbetade han med ett brett utbud av tillämpade marinekologiska projekt, ofta relaterade till havsbaserade vindkraftsparker och sjöfåglar eller annan interaktion mellan människa och natur i kust- eller havsmiljöer. Stefan har främst arbetat med projekt i europeiska länder kring Nordsjön och Östersjön, men även på andra håll i världen. 

Sedan 2019 har Stefan arbetat för Novia som utbildningsansvarig för utbildningen Sustainable Coastal Management. 

 

 

Pågående projekt

Stefan är för tillfället involverad i följande projekt: 
  • “DIVERLOG”, som studerar effekten av vindkraft ute till havs på smålom.
  • “GeoICT4e”, pedagogisk kapacitetsuppbyggnad i Tanzania inom området geospatiala tillämpningar.
  • “Våtmarkskartan", kartering av byggda våtmarker i Nyland.
