Research environment
The infrastructure corresponds to the research strategy of the unit (small equipment,
no chemical reaction investigations). The discrepancy between two-year project
funding and the duration of a PhD thesis is seen as problematic.
Research networking and interaction
The national industrial contacts are adequate, as are the relations with the other
chemical engineering teams in Finland. International relations are almost nonexistent.
Recommendations
The lab is very weak on international collaborations; this should be corrected. The
unit does not yet take enough advantage of the structure of the Department of
Biotechnology and Chemical Technology to develop mutually profitable
collaborations.
The range of research topics studied is quite wide. However, scientific supervision
is provided by only one professor and two postdoctoral researchers. It might be
advisable either to somewhat restrict the number of subjects or to try to recruit an
additional senior research scientist.
