About me
I work as the coordinator in the Tampere Microscopy Center (TMC) infrastructure (Head of TMC: Prof. Minnamari Vippola) together with Dr. Mari Honkanen. I work as a trainer and adviser for the users of the infrastructure, collaborate in material characterization for various TAU projects and other academic and research institutes, participate in teaching related to materials characterization and microscopy and co-operate with national and international laboratories and networks.
Responsibilities
TMC equipment: Scanning electron microscopes (Zeiss Ultra-55, Tescan Vega), Focused ion beam microscope (Zeiss Crossbeam 540), Raman-microscope (Renishaw inVia Qontor), Micro-X-Ray Fluorescence Microscope (Bruker Tornado plus), Atomic Force Microscope (Bruker Icon).
Fields of expertise
Electron microscopy, Focused ion beam microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray Fluorescence, Laser ablation, Nanomaterials, Correlative microscopy, Materials characterization
Main positions of trust
