About

Juha on Ian Dury's bench in Richmond Park, Richmond, London, in May 2010Nice of you to drop by! Welcome to the home page of the most Scanian Finn in Linköping. My name is Juha Takkinen.

I was born in northern Finland and I am Finnish-speaking since birth, although I was brought up just outside Lund in Skåne (or Scania in English), in the south of Sweden. I now live in Linköping.

On weekdays you can find me in the Department of Computer and Information Science at Linköpings universitet, where I earn my living as a senior lecturer.
