Campaigning for a better future
Aalto’s research and innovations impact your everyday life. Whether it’s a breakthrough in detecting memory disorders, a sustainable alternative to cement, or turning ideas into startups, you too are connected to Aalto – and have many reasons to donate.
Care robots, speech recognition, micromaterials, galaxies near and far away – the School of Electrical Engineering is so much more than electricity and smart power grids, as we study many topics you might not initially associate with the electrical industry. We take part in solving the great challenges humanity is facing, such as climate change, the depletion of natural resources and an aging population.

Screen logging tells us where smart phone users tap and swipe, but now researchers have developed a musculoskeletal model that helps understand the physical effort that goes into these motions
Record-breaking photonics approach traps light on a chip for millions of cycles
With 'nanoscale surgery' the researchers were able to sculpt delicate van der Waals materials without destroying them, achieving record-breaking performance in the process.
Study electrical engineering
Electricity is everywhere, and our society would not function without it. As a student at the School of Electrical Engineering, you can find solutions to issues related to sustainable development and human well-being.
Get to know our research: our departments and Metsähovi Radio Observatory
Our research is based on excellent cooperation, and we have exceptionally good connections to the business world. Our students and researchers get a chance to roll up their sleeves, because we conduct a lot of applied research in addition to theoretical research. Our investments in first-class facilities and research equipment ensure that our hard work will help society evolve.
