Sähkön tuotanto aurinkoenergialla
Short review of solar cell physics and solar electric systems in general in finnish, written in October 2004. Lyhyt katsaus aurinkokennojen fysiikkaan ja aurinkosähköjärjestelmiin yleisesti lokakuulta 2004. CC BY-SA 4.0
Kohdistetun inisuihkun ja kryogeenisen ionisyväetsauksen yhdistelmäprosessin karakterisointi
My Master’s thesis from September 2009 in finnish. Diplomityö.
Review discussing thermoelectric effect, materials, testing, finished in October 2011. Transport of heat and charge carriers in solids is discussed along what happens in micro- and nanoscale. Many thermoelectric materials, their fabrication methods and characterization are also discussed. Applications for thermoelectrics are mentioned. Note that for publishing many of original figures had to be removed as they are taken from various articles, some diagrams were replaced with similar that I made. For deleted figures original figure is indicated. CC BY-SA 4.0
Aerosol synthesis of nanoparticles
Essay discussing nanoparticle synthesis with aerosol method. Written in December 2011. All images were removed for publication with originals indicated. CC BY-SA 4.0
Coupled MEMS resonator networks
My Licentiate’s thesis from October 2017. Lisensiaatintyö, lokakuu 2017, kieli: englanti.
Global coupling and Neural networks in coupled MEMS resonator networks
Discusses global coupling and neural networks in general with coupled MEMS resonator networks in mind and how resonator networks could be used to realize them. Originally intended to be part of my licentiate’s thesis, but was left out so available here separately. Written originally in February 2015 with some edits later on. CC BY-SA 4.0
Nanomedicine and printing technologies
Essay reviewing some printing techniques and their applications to nanomedicine, written in summer 2019. CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
Nanopartikkelit korkean intensiteetin kohdistetussa ultraääniterapiassa
Report reviewing use of nanoparticles in high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). In finnish. Työ tarkastelee nanopartikkeleita korkean intensiteetin kohdistetussa ultraääniterapiassa, niihin liittyviä vaatimuksia, vaikutusmekanismeja sekä erilaisia nanopartikkeleita, joita on ehdotettu HIFUun kirjoitettu keväällä 2021.

Electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of nanostructures
Report discussing basics of Electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of nanostructures, starting with short review of Raman spectroscopy and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, before moving to the main topic. Some application examples are also given. Written in October 2021. CC BY-SA 4.0
Synthesis and characterization of gallium oxide nanocrystals
Master's thesis discussing synthesis and characterirization of gallium oxide nanocrystals from June 2022.
Arduino
Ulkorakennuksessa olevan keskuslämmityskattilan savukaasun lämpötilan tarkkailemiseksi päärakennuksesta käsin toteutin Arduino-mikrokontrollereilla mittauslaitteiston ja näyttölaitteiston. To monitor flue gas temperature of central heating boiler in outer building from the main building, I realized with Arduino microcontrollers measuring and display devices.
Tiedonsiirto laitteistojen välillä tapahtuu langattomasti käyttäen lisenssivapaata 434 MHz taajuutta Sparkfun RFM69HCM:lla. Data transfer between devices happens wirelesly using licence free 434 MHz frequency with Sparkfun RFM69HCM.
Savukaasun lämpötila mitataan Adafruit MAX31865 rtd vahvistin- ja mittauspiiriin kytketyllä Adafruitin kolmijohtimisella pt100 vastusanturilla. The flue gas temperature is measured with Adafruit three wire pt100 resistive sensor connected to Adafruit MAX31865 rtd amplifier and measurement circuit.
Järjestelmä rakentuu Olimex 328 Arduino Uno variantin ympärille, jolla luetaan lämpötila mittauspiiriltä ja liitetään se osaksi merkkijonoa joka lähetään radiopiirille. The system is build around Olimex 328 Arduino Uno variant, which is used to read temperature from measurement circuit and add it to string that is send radio circuit.
Näyttölaite koostuu Olimex 328:aan kytketyistä 16x2 merkin lcd näytöstä ja radiopiiristä, jossa vastaanotettu merkkijono muunnetaan merkkivektoriksi kirjoitetaan näytölle. The display device consists of 16x2 character lcd display and radio circuit attached to Olimex 328, where the received string is converted to character vector and written to the display.
