Rissanen specializes in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) systems, with a focus on multi-locus configurations and pulse-width modulation. His research integrates biomedical engineering with quantum acoustics, particularly in superconducting qubit-phonon interfaces.

Recent publications highlight his innovations in TMS coil design (2023, IEEE Transactions), spatiotemporal brain network modulation (2024, Clinical Neurophysiology), and clinical deployment of multi-locus TMS (2025, BioMedical Engineering Online). His work demonstrates expertise in electromagnetic field distribution and quantum-phonon interactions.

Rissanen actively organizes academic events, including the Science Factory: TMS-EEG Summer School (2022-2024) and the International Conference on Bioelectromagnetism (2024). These collaborations span institutions like University of Tübingen (U. Ziemann) and Karolinska Institute (D. Kičić).
