I studied Chemical Engineering at Åbo Akademi University in Finland and earned my doctorate in Material Science from Aalto University, Finland, in 2018. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Freiburg in Germany, I returned to Aalto University in 2020 to support the transition of Ioncell® fiber spinning technology from laboratory research to pilot-scale production. In 2022, I was appointed as a staff scientist at Aalto University. Since September 2024, I started my professorship on particle and fiber technology for bio-based materials at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).
My research focuses on the extraction and isolation of bio-based polymers, such as cellulose and proteins, from renewable feedstocks and waste streams. I am working to develop sustainable processes for transforming these materials into high-performance fibers and functional materials. By controlling molecular interactions through chemical and physical methods, I aim to tailor the structural and mechanical properties of bio-based materials, advancing the potential of bio-polymers for diverse applications.
