Join us at the FinnCERES x FCAI Forum Event at Dipoli on the 1st of September 14:00 - 16:00. This event brings together researchers from both Flagships, with the ultimate goal to find new machine learning solutions for existing challenges in the world of bio-based materials. There will be presentations to introduce the problem space and show existing use cases and AI solutions and time for networking and idea exchange.
You can benefit from this event as a FinnCERES researcher, if you are looking to apply machine learning in your project but are not sure how to get started, or have already existing solutions that you can share with fellow researchers. You can benefit from this event as an FCAI researcher, by sharing your knowledge about Machine Learning, learning about use cases of AI in the field of biomaterials and being a starting point for new collaborations.
Location
The event will take place at Dipoli in the Palaver room.

Speakers
Patrick Rinke
Prof. Patrick Rinke leads the Computational Electronic Structure Theory (CEST) group in the Department of Applied Physics at Aalto University. The CEST group develops advanced electronic structure, data science and machine learning methods and applies them to pertinent problems in (bio)materials science. Since 2019, he coordinates the AI in Materials Science Highlight in the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence.
Mikko Mäkelä
Mikko Mäkelä works as a Research Professor in Intelligent Biomass Processing at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd. He is originally trained as an environmental engineer and has a university background from Finland, Sweden, Spain, and Japan. His research focuses on applied mathematics and statistics for material and process development and on novel hyperspectral imaging applications within the bioeconomy.
Charlotte Zborowski
In 2018, in Denmark, Charlotte obtained her PhD in Physics on Characterization of deeply buried interfaces by XPS. After that she worked as postdoctoral researcher on the first laboratory XPS equipped with high energy sources at imec, Belgium. She now works in the Bio2 department at Aalto on 2 projects ENZYFUNC to make biobased coating and XBRAIN to make a XPS database. She is also working as CHEM school data agent in the RDM team.
Paavo Penttilä
Dr. Paavo Penttilä is an Academy of Finland Research Fellow and the leader of the “Biobased materials structure” research group at Aalto University. His background is in materials physics and particularly in using X-ray and neutron scattering to study the nanoscale structure of cellulosic and other biobased materials. In the Academy Research Fellow project NNxWOOD (2021-2026), Dr. Penttilä and his team explore the possibilities of machine learning in the scattering analysis of wood-based materials.
