Markus Pesonen

Markus Pesonen, holding a Master of Science degree, is affiliated with the Faculty of Science and Engineering as part of the research initiative FNT Common Technologies for a Sustainable Future. His work bridges materials science and sustainable engineering with a focus on functional nanomaterials and sensor development.

Research interests center on electrochemical biosensors utilizing impedimetric techniques, biorecognition layers, and DNA hybridization on gold electrodes, alongside polymer nanocomposites including polythiophene and poly(vinyl chloride) films. His nanomaterials expertise spans graphene oxide barrier applications and cellulose-based conducting inks, frequently employing ATR-FTIR spectroscopy for characterization. Key contributions address sustainable solutions for packaging barriers and flexible electronics.

Analysis of his 18 publications (2012-2019) reveals a strong trajectory in sustainable materials, with recent work (2016-2019) emphasizing reduced graphene oxide barriers in PVC films, cellulose nanocrystal inks, and voltage-dependent graphene oxide reduction. These studies demonstrate interdisciplinary approaches combining electrochemistry, polymer science, and nanotechnology to solve real-world material challenges.

Pesonen operates within the collaborative framework of FNT Common Technologies for a Sustainable Future, where his research on biorecognition layers, herring sperm DNA probes, and polythiophene films contributes to next-generation sensing platforms and eco-friendly electronic materials.
