Aalto Electronics-ICT
In the Aalto Electronics-ICT we conduct research in microelectronics, antenna and microwave engineering and space technology.
Department of Electronics and Nanoengineering
From nano level to the stars!
At the Department of Electronics and Nanoengineering, we develop technologies spanning quantum and nanoscale phenomena, wireless systems, and space. Our research brings together micro- and nanoelectronics, photonics, radio engineering, electromagnetics, and space science and technology. We educate future experts and work closely with industry and international research partners. Our facilities include the Micronova cleanrooms, Aalto Electronics-ICT laboratories, Mets盲hovi Radio Observatory, and MilliLab. See our research infrastructures here.

Studies
The Department of Electronics and Nanoengineering contributes to the common Bachelor programmes of the School of Electrical Engineering, we arrange the Master's Programme in Electronics and Nanotechnology, and we provide post-graduate education through all of our research groups, as can be seen in our .
Research infrastructure
Experimental work is the key for achievements in science. Our department is proud to offer state-of-the-art infrastructures that enable us to conduct internationally distinguished research. Department of Electronics and Nanoengineering (ELE) conducts research and offers education in three sites introduced below, as well as at , a joint laboratory with VTT and ESA, offering device measurement and testing capabilities up to THz frequencies.
Micronova
Micronova, a part of OtaNano, is a cleanroom facility operated jointly by Aalto University and VTT, the Technical Research Centre of Finland.
Mets盲hovi Radio Observatory
Mets盲hovi Radio Observatory is the only astronomical radio observatory in Finland. Mets盲hovi鈥檚 main instrument is the 14-metre radio telescope, which is used around the clock, every day of the year. Its observational data is used, e.g., for studying active galaxies, the Sun, and the rotation of the Earth.
