Understanding the behaviour of light and matter - key to future technologies
If we can understand how and why light and matter behave as they do, we are one step closer to solving some of the most fundamental problems in physics. Finding the answers to these questions drives Ville Maisi, Associate Professor of Solid States Physics, Department of Physics. As long as he can remember he has been interested electric circuits and physics. With the support of a new ERC Consolida

MOOCs more popular during the pandemic
IIIEE is taking the lead on open, month-long online courses, known as MOOCs. The investment in MOOCs has been quite a success. In recent years, every sixth student has stated that the online courses influenced them to apply for one of the IIIEE’s traditional courses or programmes. That MOOCs attract students to study programmes is only one of several positive aspects. The opportunity to collaborat
