Antti Niskanen

Research Leader
NRC Cambridge UK

I joined Nokia Research Center in 2009. Prior to joining Nokia I was most recently a Research Professor at VTT Technical Resarch Center of Finland. I have also worked for Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) at NEC Labs in Tsukuba, Japan. I got my M.Sc.(Tech.) degree in 2002 and D.Sc.(Tech.) degree in 2004 from the Helsinki University of Technology, both in engineering physics.

Research Interests

I am leading the Quantum Technologies team. My research interest include device physics in general, computation and sensors.
