Supervisors

The list below describes potential MSc research topic areas by supervisor. To find a supervisor, it is recommended that you first contact the teacher responsible for your major. You may contact any of the professors below to discuss any potential topic of your interest.

The list is updated by David Radnell (david.radnell@aalto.fi) and Lasse Leskelä (lasse.leskela@aalto.fi).
