Modelling of Light-Emitting Diodes (2009-2019)
The operating temperature of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) affects their lifetime. Metrology Research Institute has developed models to help estimate the junction temperatures and lifetimes of LEDs.
ELPOW (2015-2018)
Metrology Research Institute was involved in European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research (EMPIR) project ELPOW - "Metrology for the electrical power industry".
Lifetime projection of lamps and luminaires based on high power LEDs (2009-)
The lifetime of a product is a key parameter when accessing the total costs of different lighting solutions. Aging studies have been carried out in several internal, national, and international projects.
ATMOZ project (2014-2017)
Metrology Research Institute is involved in European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP) project ATMOZ - "Traceability for Atmospheric Total Column Ozone".
Uncertainty Analysis of Correlated Color Temperature (2014-2017)
Metrology Research Institute has studied how unknown correlations in spectral irradiance data affect the quantities derived from this data.
MESaIL (2014-2017)
Metrology Research Institute was involved in European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP) project MESaIL - "Metrology for Efficient and Safe Innovative Lighting".
PhotoLED (2016-2019)
Metrology Research Institute was involved in European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research (EMPIR) Project PhotoLED - "Future Photometry Based on Solid-State Lighting Products".
About the foundation
Foundation for Aalto University Science and Technology is a foundation established by Finnish industry in 1979. Its Board comprises representatives from Aalto University, Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK), Technology Industries of Finland (Teknologiateollisuus), Finnish Forest Industries (Metsäteollisuus), Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries RT (Rakennusteollisuus) and The Chemical Industry Federation of Finland (Kemianteollisuus).
Instructions for Foundation's grant applicants
The instructions on this page mainly concern grants awarded from donations for thesis work by students of Aalto University schools of technology. Instructions and forms for scholarships granted annually for doctoral studies and postdoctoral visits, from the Foundations special funds, can be found in "Grant application and deed of gift forms".
Foundation's grant application and deed of gift forms
Foundation for Aalto University Science and Technology awards grants for MSc and Doctoral theses. The grants awarded by the Foundation are mostly funded by Finnish industrial companies, who may direct their gift to the Foundation to be used for research in a field of technology of their choice.
Grants from the Foundation's own funds
Grants from the foundation's own funds for doctoral students and for research visits are awarded once each spring. Doctoral students in Aalto University's CHEM, ELEC, ENG and SCI schools are eligible to apply, as well as doctoral students in Department of Architecture at ARTS. NOTE: The grants have been awarded and the list of recipients is given in this page.
Hyperspectral camera calibration (2017–2019)
Metrology Research Institute studied the calibration methods of hyperspectral cameras in collaboration with Finnish Geospatial Research Institute (FGI) within Academy of Finland project "Quantitative remote sensing by 3D hyperspectral UAVs – From theory to practice". This activity resulted in two calibration services – Flat field calibration of the spatial responsivity, and characterization of the spectral responsivity of cameras.

A doctoral student's dream: A joint doctoral thesis concept by Aalto and Saab
'The research is interesting, the work environment is pleasant, and the project has funding. Everything that a researcher could hope for is in place.'
Women account for a quarter of new doctorates in technology
Doctoral education and doctoral students have changed over the years. Today's doctoral graduates are younger than ever and, in the field of technology, a growing portion are women.
