Micronova
Want to find out more about us?
Micronova is part of OtaNano - Finland's national research infrastructure for micro- and nanotechnology, jointly run by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Aalto University. Research in Micronova focuses on micro and nanotechnology, material and device physics, and optics.
Micronova is an open research environment and we welcome companies to use the facilities and the combined expertise of Aalto and VTT in the area of micro and nanotechnology. We can offer dedicated laboratories and office space.
As a National Research Infrastructure Micronova provides open access to the cleanrooms to all. Scientists from the University of Helsinki, University of Turku and University of Jyväskylä have used our facilities, as have those from several companies.
Micronova - part of OtaNano
Micoronova is a part of OtaNano, which offers facilities in micro- and nanofabrication, nanomicroscopy, low-temperature measurements, and quantum engineering.

Micro and Quantum Systems
Professor Ilkka Tittonen
Optoelectronics
Professor Markku Sopanen
Photonics

Optics and Photonics
The research of the Optics and Photonics group covers a range of topics of modern optics and photonics, encompassing various aspects of light-matter interaction, optical coherence and polarization, development of methods to manipulate light with nano- and micro-structures, design and construction of novel light sources, optical metamaterials and optical imaging.
Quantum Computing and Devices (QCD)
We have a major effort on experimental low-temperature physics, but we also carry out computational and theoretical work down to fundamental quantum mechanics.
Pico - Quantum Phenomena and Devices
We investigate mesoscopic physics and its sensor applications. The main focus is on charge transport and thermal properties of metallic, superconducting and hybrid nanostructures.
Events
HelsinCHI Symposium 2023
A one-day symposium exploring HCI research from Aalto University and University of Helsinki. Symposium is a great event for professors, researchers, master's students and professionals in the field of HCI who are looking to expand their knowledge and connect with like-minded individuals.
Mechatronic Circus & Demo Day 2023
Welcome to see the smart devices built by students on mechatronics courses and hear he latest research data, e.g. digital twins, machine vision, and rotating machines on the Demo Day.
How to Store Research Data
Storing data at Aalto University with Ilari Lähteenmäki from IT Services and Dan Häggman, Data Agent from the School of Engineering.
Hands-on Data Anonymisation 2023
The goals for this 2 x 3h workshop are practical: to have people actually minimise/pseudonymise/anonymise personal data in many of its forms.Where to find us
