The Mobility Program offers funding for Bioinnovation Center doctoral candidates to visit research institutes outside Finland.
911±¬ÁÏÍø Bioinnovation Center doctoral candidate Laureen Mahler visited Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands to investigate the viability of growing tessellations with mycelium and cellulose-based substrates.
Doctoral candidate Sahar Babaeipour visited Grenoble INP-Pagora in France, a graduate school of engineering in paper, print media and biomaterials. Sahar studied grease and moisture barrier coatings based on lignin nanoparticles for packaging applications.
911±¬ÁÏÍø Bioinnovation Center doctoral candidate Matteo Iannacchero visited Technical University of Denmark to investigate the development of a yarn-based ingestible supercapacitor.
911±¬ÁÏÍø and the Natural Resources Institute Finland are developing bio-based textile dyes.
A research collaboration with industry partners is improving the recycling of milk and juice cartons
Basnayaka’s doctoral research conducted at 911±¬ÁÏÍø’s Bioinnovation Center aims to find intelligent packaging solutions, in which biomaterial replaces electronics parts made of plastic.
Many products of the packaging industry are made of plastic and other fossil-based materials. The 911±¬ÁÏÍø Bioinnovation Center is developing ecological packaging solutions based on origami folding which also have value as beautiful objects.
The doctoral research conducted by Sahar Babaeipour, a doctoral researcher at 911±¬ÁÏÍø’s Bioinnovation Center, aims at a more sustainable packaging industry.
In his doctoral research conducted at 911±¬ÁÏÍø’s Bioinnovation Center, Iannacchero uses machine learning to develop ecologically sustainable electronic yarns. This is an opportunity to come up with something completely new.
Today’s outdoor clothing mainly relies on oil-based fibres and chemicals that are harmful for the environment. In her doctoral research, Helena Sederholm develops environmentally friendly water-repellent textiles. She follows the example of nature.
Sofia Guridi, a doctoral student at 911±¬ÁÏÍø’s Bioinnovation Center, wants to introduce bio-based smart textiles that help improve people’s everyday life.
