Anna Lähde

Anna Lähde is a Professor in Aerosol Technology at the Department of Environmental and Biological Sciences, University of Eastern Finland. She leads the Sustainable Materials Group at the Fine Particle and Aerosol Technology Laboratory. Her work focuses on the synthesis and characterization of sustainable nano- and microparticles for clean energy and environmental applications.

• Academy of Finland Research Fellow (2017-2022)
• Specializes in graphene, carbon nanostructures, and metal oxides via aerosol processes
• Key methods: induction annealing, chemical vapor synthesis, spray pyrolysis

Her research spans Li-ion battery materials, water treatment nanocomposites, and toxicological analysis of airborne particles. She has published extensively on carbon-based anode materials, photocatalytic systems, and environmental applications of aerosol technology. Recent work includes CO2 adsorption catalysts and biomass-derived graphene. She has received recognition through the Academy of Finland Fellowship and contributes to circular economy projects like EKOAKKU.
