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.

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
Intro to Scientific Computing and HPC 6-8 June 2023
How to do computational work at Aalto with remote resources and high performance computing (HPC). Special focus for summer workers!
A Public Lecture by Professor Ali Abbas: Ethical Decision Quality - Avoiding Common Pitfalls in Organizational Decision-Making
Examples include work with the U.S. Transportation and Security Administration (TSA), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and NASA.
Honorary Doctors' Talks
Recipients of honorary doctorates at Aalto University in the field of technology will share key observations from their careers in a public seminar.
Visualizing Knowledge 2023
Visualising Knowledge, a conference, a showcase, and workshops, invite you to discuss and explore uncertainty in a new light. Let’s find prevalent questions and explanations through information design and data visualization to unravel the complexity.Where to find us
