Biography

I am currently the vice head (education) of the department of physics and an active teaching developer. My research activities range from computational modeling of nanomaterials ro physics education research.

Research interests

I do research on two separate fields: i) novel university-level physics teaching and assessment practices and ii) low-dimensional nanomaterials, especially carbon nanomaterials, for their structural, mechanical, vibrational, electronic, and electromechanical properties using computational methods ranging from continuum to first-principles electronic structure methods.

Research groups

Research group

Low-dimensional nanomaterials modeling

Investigations of electronic and mechanical properties of novel low-dimensional nanomaterials.
Research group

Physics education research and physics teacher education

Our goal is that the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ is the best place in Finland to study physics. To accomplish this, we develop physics teaching in practice and engage in physics education research.

Projects

Graphene-based interfaces for neuroapplications
Project

GIN - Graphene-based Interfaces for Neuroapplications

GIN forms an interdisciplinary postdoc project consortium. It is part of the profiling spearheads within the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥.
