معرفی
Professor Topi Rönkkö leads the Aerosol Physics research group at Tampere University's Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences (ENS). His work focuses on black carbon emissions, air quality, and their impacts on climate and human health. He coordinates the Black Carbon Footprint project and contributes to initiatives like the TUBE project (transport emissions and Alzheimer’s risk), Future Spaces (building renovations), and E3 (pandemic response).
Rönkkö earned his Master's (2003) and PhD (2009) at Tampere University. He has pioneered mobile laboratory studies for real-world emission analysis, collaborating globally with academia, industry, and municipalities. His research spans automotive exhausts, wood combustion pollution, and aerosol transmission of pathogens.
Key achievements include the 2021 Societal Impact Award (Tampere University) and development of novel aerosol measurement techniques. His interdisciplinary projects address grand challenges like climate change mitigation and pandemic preparedness.
