Emergenceof aResearcher In early 70’s Pekka entered the University of Jyväskylä in the early 70’s (with in- tention to graduate fast as math’s teacher). Despite of the desire to graduate fast, Pekka did not ignore the social aspects of life as a student, which in the seventies impliedalsopoliticalactivity,andgatheredastrongpersonalnetworkoffuturede- cision makers that has been an essential asset ever since. Fast graduation caught the attention of Professor I.S. Louhivaara who recruited Pekka for doctoral stud- ies.Louhivaara,whohadbeentrainedastherighthandofRolfNevanlinna,hadan extensiveandactiveinternationalnetworkandabroadunderstandingoftheactive fieldsinmathematics.Thus,inhisthesisworkonboundaryvalueproblemstoplate equation,mentoredbyK.WitschfromBonn,Pekkagotanextensivebackgroundin mathematicalanalysisofPDEs. AfterhisPhDPekkawenttoBonnasapostdocandgotacquaintedwithbotha generationofyoungGermanresearchersand,moreimportantly,thefiniteelement ix x Preface method. When Pekka returned from Bonn, he brought a pile of punch cards con- taining a FEM code and several manuscripts and ideas to be written jointly with R.PicardandJ.SaranenonFEMfordifferentwaveandeigenvalueproblems. BuildingHisOwnGroup Inthebeginningofthe80’sPekkastartedtobeonhisown.TheFEMpapersafter thePhDqualifiedhimtothelevelofadocentanditwastimetostartteachingand recruitingstudents.ThefirstseminararoundFEMwasorganizedinJyväskyläinfall 1982 and it attracted the attention of several promising students. Pekka exploited wellthepositionofFinlandasagatewaybetweenEastandWestandquicklybuilt a collaboration network with Czech and Romanian researchers. This helped him to both deepen and broaden the research activities. By a fortunate mishap Pekka learnedaboutthesuperconvergencephenomenonrelatedtoaveragingandmanaged to analyze it with M. Krizek with whom he continued the FEM track to review articlesandeventuallytomonographs. SimultaneouslyPekkafoundotherlong-lastinginterests:shapeoptimisationwith J.HaslingerandoptimalcontrolwithD.Tiba,bothofthese,inparticular,inthecon- textofvariationalinequalities.Theseopeningslednotonlytonumerouspapersand severalmonographsintheyearstocomebutalsotoafairnumberofPhDstudents and theses, and to the first major industrial collaboration in the field of steel cast- ing. The collaboration with industry was facilitated by Pekka’s short excursion to LappeenrantaUniversityofTechnologyasanassociateprofessorandbyamember- shipintheResearchCouncilofTechnology.

Shaping theUniversity In thebeginningof the90’stheactivitieswerebooming.Beingestablishedas full professor,knowingtheresearchcouncilsfrominside,havingasuccessfulindustrial case in his portfolio and several young post docs, Pekka could expand the group with new students and attract new industrial partners and international collabora- tors. Simultaneously the situation in Eastern Europe had changed. Pekka was fast to make good contacts in the leading schools in St. Petersburg and Moscow while summarizing the fruits of collaboration with colleagues from Eastern Europe and establishing links to the French school of applied mathematics and the European freeboundarycommunity.ThisallhasmadeJyväskyläacollaborationhubforsci- entistsfrommanycountries.SimultaneouslyPekkawasbusyinternationalizingthe group, by co-initiating the Jyväskylä International Summer Semester, starting the Preface xi organizingofinternationalconferencesandbyrecruitingfirstforeignPhDstudents to the group. This alone would have been more than enough to fill the days of a professor.Butotherthingsemergedinparallel. Pekka was called to serve in a government-level committee of research issues and, after a few months as Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences, as the first vice-rector of the University. The period as vice-rector manifested Pekka’s ability torecognizequalitativelynewopportunitiesastheyemerge.Finland,byjoiningthe European Union in the beginning of 1995, became eligible to European regional funding—Jyväskylä region, in particular, because of a major crisis in the regional economy.ThankstoPekka’sinitiatives(andpersonalnetworkofstrategicpeople), JyväskyläwasabletoharnesstheEUfundingtoarealstructuralchangeinthelocal economy,largelythroughexpansionandmodernizationofuniversityeducationby targetedmasterprograms.
