Personal profile
Research interests
I am working in a research team specialising in biomass processing technologies. Mainly involved in fibre refining, production of nanocellulose (cellulose nanofibrils), MFC, natural antimicrobial substances, 3D printing material development and fibre-based packaging assignments. I am also involved in refining of starch, berries and different agro biomass by-products (e.g. straw, bran, bones, BSG, feathers, sugar beet pulp). Currently managing the production and routine characterisations of nanocellulose at VTT.
