This year’s Best Master’s Thesis Award in Optics at the University of Eastern Finland was presented to Duc Huynh, Elvis Pillinen and Miika Suhonen.

The methods developed in the PhD study serve as the basis for further development of near real-time brain tissue classification systems.

According to Professor Tommi Hakala, nanophotonics is a field of science that aims at smaller optical devices and diverse harnessing of light for technology.

Imaging, light and the extended reality technology meet in the multidisciplinary Erasmus Mundus Japan programme.

Erasmus Mundus programme brings together European universities and global research and business partners in a unique way.

The Faculty of Science and Forestry will change its name to the Faculty of Science, Forestry and Technology, effective from 1 January 2023.

The Biosphere Laboratory brings together research on the carbon cycle and plant stress of northern ecosystems.

The topic of MSc Sughra Mohamed's doctoral research is the controlling, confinement, and tailoring of light in nanostructures, particularly in plasmonic and photonic crystal systems.

In early November, the Institute of Photonics at the University of Eastern Finland changed its name to the Center for Photonics Sciences.

Professor Jyrki Saarinen and Executive Director Juha Purmonen have been elected into the Board of Stakeholders of Photonics21.
