LeGroup Prototypes
We love designing prototypes as part of our research work. Our working method revolves around creating continuously evolving prototypes, which can be prototypes of practices, services, software, hardware or media.
CEST - Research: Theory and method development
CEST is developing computational electronic structure theory and machine learning methods to solve pertinent problems in physics, chemistry and materials science. Our method development facilitates a better description of matter and unlocks new applications. New systems pose new challenges, which again require new method development.
CEST - Research overview
CEST's research topics can be classified into three interacting branches: theory and method development, materials modeling, and machine learning materials science.
Fabian and Jaakko Ahvenainen Fund
The Fabian and Jaakko Ahvenainen Fund awards grants and recognition awards annually to Master's degree students and post-graduate students of the Aalto University School of Engineering as well as persons who recently completed their Master's or postgraduate degrees and familiarized with bridge engineering or structural engineering and building physics in their studies at Aalto University.
For radio amateurs
Aalto Satellites works closely with local radio amateurs and wants to open up new space-hobby possibilities for all the radio amateurs around the world.
Motivation & Assessment
Assessment criteria as well as how feedback will be given and by whom needs to be transparent.
