Department of Electrical Engineering and Automation
Many-sided microsystems
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Automation, in short EEA, is an ecosystem where scientists and engineers from different fields of microsystems, electrical engineering and automation work together to solve the most challenging scientific problems in the fields of energy and environment, as well as health and wellbeing.
We offer excellent education and top-quality research conditions.
Research
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Automation (EEA) focuses on three research areas: Power Systems and Energy Conversion, Control, Robotics and Autonomous Systems, and Health Technology.
The department is a major player in Aalto University鈥檚 Energy Efficiency Research programme AEF.
Also the Aalto ePowerHub is part of the EEA department.
Power Systems and Energy Conversion
We develop new methods, devices, and systems for substantially increasing the share of renewable energy and improving energy efficiency, focusing on making renewables, energy storage, and digital services the essence of power systems.
Control, Robotics and Autonomous Systems
In these research groups, we develop generic methodologies and practices focusing on distributed and networked control systems, field robotics, intelligent robotics, robotic instruments, industry automation systems, and automation software for distributed systems.
Health Technology
We develop technologies for improved and predictive diagnostic tools and efficient therapeutic methods and offer new analytical techniques for basic medical research focusing on making medical solutions that enable personalised treatments, homecare and data driven clinical decisions.
Studies
We offer education at bachelor's, master's and doctoral level. View the dissertations here: .
