Kari Lehtinen, Professor, Dean<\/h1>\n

Kari Lehtinen received his degrees (M.Sc. 1992, Lic. Tech. 1993, Ph.D. 1997) at Helsinki University of Technology (HUT), Dept. Technical Physics. Before becoming Professor of Atmospheric Physics and Chemistry in 2004 he was assistant of mechanics and computational dynamics at HUT, a researcher and a senior researcher at VTT Energy and a senior researcher and a university lecturer at Helsinki University, Dept. Atmospheric Sciences. He was a visiting scientist in UCLA Los Angeles in 1994-1995 and University of Minnesota Minneapolis in 2000-2001. In 2004-2013 he the was head of FMI Kuopio Unit, a research unit with research groups in atmospheric modeling, measurements and radiation as well as aviation and military weather service. In 2014-2021 he was the head of UEF Department of Applied Physics.<\/p>\n

His main research interests are aerosol microphysics theory and modeling related to various applications in atmospheric science and climate change, nanomaterial synthesis and environmental health. He has published more than 220 peer reviewed international journal articles (3 in Science) and supervised 28 Ph.D. theses. His teaching experience includes courses in computational dynamics, aerosol physics and dynamics, transport phenomena, statistical physics as well as basic undergraduate physics.<\/p>\n
