SHORT BIO
Maarit Karppinen received her chemistry PhD from Helsinki University of Technology (now Aalto University, Finland). In 1995 she joined the Materials and Structures Laboratory, Tokyo Institute of Technology (Japan), first as a visiting and then regular associate professor to conduct research on novel functional oxide materials ranging from high-pressure synthesized high-Tc superconductors and thermoelectrics to exotic magnetic materials. In 2006 she returned back to Finland to her Alma Mater as a full professor. Currently she is renowned for her pioneering research on ALD and MLD (atomic and molecular layer deposition) fabricated functional layer-engineered thin films funded by several European Research Council (ERC) grants. Her group’s research scope covers the design and synthesis of new materials as well as their characterization e.g. for various frontier energy applications. She was nominated as Aalto Distinguished Professor in 2017, and invited to join the Scientific Council of ERC in 2025.
