Jorma Jokiniemi, VTT, Finland

After graduating from University of Helsinki in 1984, Jorma Jokiniemi received his Ph.D. in 1990 from the same university on the topic 'The effect of airborne hygroscopic matter on aerosol behaviour in severe nuclear power plant accidents'. In 1991 his research interest moved to combustion aerosols and chemistry. 1995 he received the status of docent from Helsinki University of Technology. In 2005 he was appointed as professor of fine particle technology at University of Kuopio and research professor on the same topic at Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT).

The research topics of Jorma Jokiniemi vary from recovery boilers to fluidised bed boilers and small scale combustion. His research covers modelling ash chemistry, aerosol dynamics, fouling and emissions. Experimental work has concentrated on high temperature sampling and dilution as well as characterisation of fine particle physico-chemical properties in combustion processes. Lately he has studied also nanotechnology applications for energy related issues.

Since 1991 until 2005 he was the head of the research group "Aerosol Technology" at VTT, and since 2005 he is the Director of the 'Fine Particle and Aerosol Technology Laboratory – FINE' at the University of Kuopio and since January 2009 Director of the “Kuopio University Research Centre for the Assessment of Bioenergy Environmental Effects – KANTIVA”
