MSc Thesis supervisors and topic areas at Biomedical Engineering and Human Neuroscience and Technology
All people in the list can supervise theses for both BME and NEURO majors without needing separate approval from professor-in-charge. Your academic advisor or the professor-in-charge will help you in finding a supervisor. If your supervisor is not from the list, approval from the professor-in-charge is required. There is a place for signature of the professor-in-charge in the form 206 Request for approval of topic of master’s thesis. Approval by email is also accepted.
Supervisor | Potential MSc Thesis topic areas |
Petri Ala-Laurila | Cellular electrophysiology, neural circuits, neural coding, visual neuroscience |
Stephane Deny | Computational models of the brain, data analysis, machine learning |
Linda Henriksson | Neuroimaging, human visual system |
Matti S. Hämäläinen | Neuroimaging methods, medical imaging, inverse problems, systems neuroscience |
Risto Ilmoniemi | Brain stimulation, magnetic resonance imaging |
Iiro Jääskeläinen | Cognitive and behavioural neuroscience |
Ari Koskelainen | Cellular biophysics |
Anton Kuzyk | Molecular self-assembly, biophysics, plasmonics, biotechnology, biosensing |
Heikki Nieminen | Medical devices |
Matias Palva (professor in charge of BME) | Systems neuroscience, brain signal analysis, digital therapeutics |
Lauri Parkkonen (professor in charge of NEURO) | Neuroimaging, medical imaging, data analysis, medical instrumentation, systems neuroscience |
Hanna Renvall | Clinical neuroimaging, physiology, medical applications |
Riitta Salmelin | Systems neuroscience, neuroimaging methods and applications, signal analysis |

All MSc Theses supervised by NBE faculty shall have a Thesis presentation in NBE Student Seminar, unless the Thesis is done for a non-NBE major that has its own seminar series. The seminar booking should be made at least two weeks before the desired presentation day. If there are, despite early booking, no seminar slots available, the supervisor and student shall organize a public presentation that will be announced at NBE Student Seminar announcements and nbe-personnel@aalto.fi email list at least two working days before the presentation day.
