Dr. Jukka Niskanen

Research Associate - 2021

A chemist emerged from the boy who used to read the ingredient labels on detergents and medicines. Soon he would be burning the midnight oil as a pharmacist and studying chemistry by day. Little did he know that polymers and hybrid materials would take him from Scandinavia all the way to Vinland and back.
