Tommi Eemeli Rimpiläinen

Tommi Eemeli Rimpiläinen serves as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Information and Communications Engineering at Aalto University, focusing on Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) and metamaterials for next-generation wireless systems. His work bridges electromagnetic theory with practical communication and sensing applications.

Research interests include:

• Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces for beam synthesis and wireless channel manipulation
• Metamaterials design involving radial anisotropy and hyperbolic permittivity
• Electromagnetic theory applied to scattering, polarizability, and canonical inclusion problems

His contributions span theoretical modeling of anisotropic structures and applied implementations in healthcare monitoring and 5G/6G networks.

Publication trends show a clear evolution from fundamental metamaterials research (2016-2020) toward RIS-driven wireless applications (2023-2024), with emphasis on beamforming optimization and device-free sensing systems. This trajectory highlights increasing industrial relevance while maintaining theoretical rigor.
