    Welcome to the home page of Introduction to Advanced Energy Solutions (AAE-E1000)!

    This year the course will be lectured by different AAE professors and will be held entirely remotely through Period 1 and Period 2. For course related questions and/or concerns that are of general interest to all students, please use the "General Discussion" board located under the lecture and Energy Forum schedules. For example, assessment related, clarifying questions should be asked on the "General Discussion" board. Emailed questions will not be answered, unless they concern personal issues. In this instance, primarily contact Ilkka Keppo (ilkka.keppo@aalto.fi) and secondly Tiia Sahrakorpi (tiia.sahrakorpi@aalto.fi).
