The purpose of Aalto University is to shape a sustainable future and make breakthroughs in and across science, art, technology, and business. Aalto is represented in FAME by the Department of Mathematics and Systems Analysis and the Department of Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering at the Aalto School of Science.
The FAME Principal Investigators at Aalto University specialize in neurosciences and medical imaging, including magnetoencephalography, diffuse optical tomography and electrical impedance tomography, as well as in applied inverse problems, numerical analysis, uncertainty quantification, and scientific computing.
The Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) conducts internationally high-quality science, the results of which are applied in society. FMI produce researched and verified information to support decision-making. In addition to measurements, FMI’s work involves the use of scientific calculation models that make use of supercomputers.
