Synchrotron Light Finland 2023 has started! Paavo Penttilä opening the workshop. Thanks to organisers Biobased Materials Structure group!

Today's keynote speaker at Synchrotron Light Finland 2023 was Marianne Liebi from PSI/EPFL Switzerland

The Synchrotron Light Finland 2023 FSRUO meeting finished with success. Thanks to all the presenters and participants, and have a good trip home!

Our multidisciplinary team from Aalto University/VTT/Fortum Suomi did synchrotron-SAXS experiments on lignin at MAX IV Laboratory. We go home with immemorable new experiences and plenty of interesting data to analyze. Thanks to the MAX IV/CoSAXS staff for making it reality!

Our SmartRecovery Business Finland team members Patrik and Janita got the opportunity to use small-angle light scattering (#SALS) for studying #lignin particles in Paderborn Universität Paderborn. 🟤🌍 Many thanks to the host laboratory of Prof. Klaus Huber for the excellent collaboration!

I'm happy to announce the Recent Advances in Computer-aided X-ray Spectroscopy workshop at Aalto University on 17-20 June, funded by Psi-k and CECAM. The application period to participate will be open for a month: ocamm.fi/event/recent-a… Please retweet!

PhD position in my group Biobased Materials Structure group Aalto University in “Small-angle scattering analysis of cellulose fibers and their moisture interactions”. Check also the other positions and apply here: aalto.fi/en/open-positi…

Thrilled to be part of“Machine Learning Conference for X-Ray and Neutron-Based Experiments” in Garching! Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) thanks for enabling this deep dive into the fascinating world of ML applied to X-ray and neutron experiments! ⚙️🧠✨

When collecting X-ray and #neutron scattering data of biological samples, the vast amount of data and overlap of features make interpretation challenging. Paavo Penttilä from Aalto University addresses this with #MachineLearning tools, rendering the analysis more efficient. 👨‍💻🧠

Join us! #PhDposition

New: "Critical comment on the assumptions leading to 24-chain microfibrils in wood" rdcu.be/dIy1h Arising from rdcu.be/dIy1v "The number of cellulose chains included in an average cellulose microfibril in plant cell walls is still an unresolved topic..."

Still 1 week time to apply!

Our PhD student Enri presented her innovative ways to analyse X-ray scattering data from wood and plant structures using machine learning in the annual seminar of the Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems Aalto University. 🌲🌿☢️🖥️#NNxWOOD

Our Master's student Janita presented today her thesis on characterization of #lignin microparticles with static light #scattering Aalto University. We are proud of her work, and thank the collaborators at VTT and Universität Paderborn, and SmartRecovery/Business Finland for funding! 🌞

Join us as postdoc! #postdocposition #scattering #wood #cellulose #synchrotron

Still one more week to apply (until Oct. 6)! #postdocposition #scattering #wood #cellulose

So happy to see this paper finally published! It is also the last paper of Aleksi's doctoral thesis🪵💧, which he will defend on November 15. Proud moment for a supervisor! 🎩 doi.org/10.1002/sstr.2…

First doctoral graduate from our group, congratulations Aleksi Zitting! 🎉

Just came back from a SAXS tensor tomography experiment to image the local structure and orientation of cellulose fibrils in wood cell walls. Thank you to the hardworking team Afrina, Chihiro, Enri, Paavo, Patrik, Linnea/PSI, Mira/ForMAX, and to MAX IV Laboratory for the beamtime!

Join the new team at the University of Jyväskylä!
