Our work on filterless colour sensing using #ferroelectric #photoferroelectric materials is published on the front cover of Solar RRL! European Research Council (ERC) University of Oulu Well done our PhD student Vasilii Balanov and co-workers! Open access, enjoy reading! Link 👉👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

What a group effort! In this review we discuss whether it’s worth replacing Pb-based #piezoceramics with Pb-free ones for #EnergyHarvesting applications. We also think of #recycling piezoceramics for #CircularEconomy. ⁦European Research Council (ERC)⁩ ⁦University of Oulu⁩ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/gc…

This week, our team hosted Dr. Neamul Khansur and his PhD student, Viktoria Kraft, visiting from FAU-Erlangen-Nurnberg for some nice collaboration on #photoferroelectrics. Intensive labworks and fruitful discussions filled the week!

If you are looking for a #postdoc position that provides a good mentoring towards a decent academic career, and if you want to do #energy_harvesting and #smart_sensing research for #DigitalHealth, and also are prepared to move up north to a winter wonderland, please contact me!

Nice effort made by our faculty!

Our new paper is published! We explored the feasibility of recycling piezoelectric materials and solar cells simultaneously and then giving a second life as high-performance sensors. Future is about to come! Funded by Infotech Oulu University of Oulu Faculty of ITEE @UniOulu onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sm…

Happy to share my featured perspective on Applied Physics Letters. It is time to come down from the research hype and face real challenges in the business world for #EnergyHarvesting! University of Oulu pubs.aip.org/aip/apl/articl…

Congratulations to my PhD student, Sivagnana Anandakrishnan, on his work which nicely closes the loop of the #CircularEconomy in our group's research ecosystem! University of Oulu pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

I am bringing 1 invited and 4 contributed talks + 1 poster with me to #S24MRS Seattle Materials Research Society (MRS), covering works for the entire value chain of #EnergyHarvesting and #Piezoelectrics from my group. Come to catch up on our latest research progress!

Today and tomorrow I am present at #NCDHWS with our #EnergyHarvesting-powered cough sensing device (coin for scale). Our device offers 90% detection rate, 21 times longer battery life, and complete data privacy! Come to listen at 11.40 in Session 5c tomorrow. 6G Flagship #6GESS

Here is an open access to the conference proceeding of our work. link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

Taking an early morning flight to Trondheim for #ECAPD2024. Our team is bringing along some new results from our ERC project European Research Council (ERC). Stay tuned!

5 members of us from our team have arrived in Trondheim, Norway for #ECAPD2024! We are contributing 6 talks with topics including #EnergyHarvesting, #BulkPhotovoltaicEffect, #Composites, and #Recycling. We will be happy to talk to and learn from so many Polar Dielectricians!

Guess what? We are bringing #ECAPD to our home University of Oulu Faculty of ITEE @UniOulu in 2026! We are now officially open for sponsorships and collaborations! Welcome to visit Oulun kaupunki, Oulu and meet polar dielectricians around the world in about 2 years! Details will follow, please stay tuned!

We have officially launched the organization of ECAPD 2026 Oulu - European Conference on Applications of Polar Dielectrics! Stay tuned and we will warmly welcome you to Oulu University of Oulu Oulun kaupunki, Oulu ! Event page below with preliminary info: oulu.fi/en/events/ecap…

Editorial Advisory Board Member, Yang Bai speaks to the need for a journal like APL Electronic Devices! Yang Bai 👇

Our team has recently been making efforts on recycling piezoelectric ceramics that either contain hazardous elements or consume large amount of energy. Thank you RSC Sustainability for highlighting our work!
