Professor Hämäläinen has successfully applied his theories and models to a number of high-impact problems, notably, in energy policy, environmental planning and nuclear emergency management. A prolific author, Professor Hämäläinen has been on the editorial board of the GDN journal, first as an associate editor and currently a departmental editor in the area of Behavior, Modeling and Group Interaction.
