Research by Mikko Pitkanen

Home Research

Currently, I am a post-doc researcher working for COMNET department in Aalto University.
Lot of my time currently goes to research and management in the SCAMPI project.
During 2005-2008, I spent three years at CERN, where I worked for HIP-TEK. You can find
below the list of publications that I have produced since 2004.
