Matti Kurkela serves as a Staff Scientist at Aalto University's Department of Built Environment, specializing in advanced 3D measurement technologies and geospatial applications. His work integrates laser scanning, photogrammetry, and mobile mapping systems for environmental and built environment analysis.
His educational background includes a Doctoral degree in Engineering and Technology from Aalto University (awarded December 30, 2022), a Licentiate degree from the same institution (December 17, 2013), and a Master's degree in Arts and Design from the University of Lapland (December 17, 2007).
Research focuses on terrestrial laser scanning (100% fingerprint match), mobile mapping (50%), photogrammetry (37%), point cloud processing (34%), and vegetation analysis (31%). His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals through environmental monitoring and sustainable development applications. Recent publications show strong emphasis on photorealistic visualization, educational technology, and infrastructure analysis.
- National Open Science Award (2019) for collaborative open data initiatives
- Key contributor to EU-funded projects including RADIAL (construction digitalization) and Co-creation of Autonomous Future
Active in organizing academic workshops on 3D measurement technologies and has participated in international collaborations including University College London visits. His datasets on Zenodo demonstrate practical applications in lighting analysis and pavement measurement. Current research integrates laser scanning with emerging technologies for urban and environmental challenges.
