Personal profile
Short bio
I am working on several different projects focusing on technology development for the forest products industry. The main goal of my research work at VTT is to develop innovative solutions for improving the competitiveness of the forest products industry and sustainability for the world.
I have developed novel methods for high-throughput processing of nanocellulose-based suspensions into coatings and films for various applications ranging from sustainable packaging to flexible electronics. I have been recognized for outstanding performance in project management and developing innovative solutions for the customers.
