Research on nanocellulose and its use in electrochemical sensors for the detection of biomolecules and drug molecules. This research project was part of the finnCERES collaboration between Aalto University and VTT Technical Research Centre that explores and develops new solutions and applications for cellulose-based materials.

I developed carbon-based sensors for the electrochemical measurement of biomolecules. I used several characterization techniques including CV, EIS, SECM, AFM and SEM to study the chemical, physical and electrochemical properties of carbon materials such as amorphous carbon, diamond-like carbon and carbon nanotubes. I tutored laboratory and project work courses and instructed several Bachelor and Master theses.
