Nanoparticles are a major source of environmental pollution when released unintentionally from energy production, traffic or engineered materials. On the other hand, nanoparticles can be used as building blocks for high-performance devices in such applications as catalysis, solar energy and emission reduction. Due to the wide range of applications, understanding of fundamental nanoparticle behavior is important in physical, bio-medical as well as material sciences and essential for interdisciplinary research. During my master studies at University of Kuopio in Finland I learned measurement and modeling techniques for atmospheric and combustion generated aerosols. My PhD work at ETH Zürich allowed me to broaden this knowledge towards engineered nanoparticles and process design. Currently, I am working on CFD modeling of chemical reactors driven by solar-thermal energy as well as atomic layer deposition in fluidized beds. In my opinion, eventual scalability and commercial feasibility are crucial also for scientific research.
