During doctoral researcher Fereshteh Sohrabi’s master’s project, curiosity turned a failing experiment into a new research avenue.
A sugar extracted from biowaste can provide a sustainable and more efficient method for sound absorption and thermal insulation
Researchers at 911±¬ÁÏÍø have discovered a way to convert polysaccharides from biowaste into a material that can outperform glass wool and other commercially used sound absorption materials with similar thickness.
Nature invented the circular economy — with aspirational engineering we can follow suit
In the latest issue of 911±¬ÁÏÍø Magazine, the Dean of the School of Chemical Engineering, Kristiina Kruus, talks about aspirational engineering, a new way of thinking that takes inspiration from nature’s rational use of resources.
Researchers at Aalto develop a new technology to let immobilized patients control devices with their brain
A new project at 911±¬ÁÏÍø is developing techniques that will enable immobilized patients to control devices using their brain activity. The project builds on the multi-locus transcranial magnetic stimulation (mTMS) technology developed at Aalto, adapting it into a brain–computer interface (BCI) that can help patients with neurological conditions.

Tapio Lokki: You can always find another way
'If I look at my own career, the skills I learned in the Student Union’s Representative Council and as a chairman and artistic misleader at Retuperän WBK are the skills I need as a department head: how to get along with people, how to lead a group, and how to motivate people. A role model is important.'
