Research groups
Adaptive Computing
Dr Patrik Floréen
Adaptive computing focuses on systems that adjust automatically to different situations. Our mission is to conduct research on modelling and optimisation in resource-constrained distributed environments. We work on ubiquitous computing in mobile environments and distributed algorithms with applications to sensor networks.
Combinatorial Algorithms and Computation
Professor Pekka Orponen
Combinatorial Pattern Matching
Professor Esko Ukkonen
The group's mission is to develop combinatorial algorithms for pattern search and synthesis problems for sequential and higher-dimensional data. The group is interested in the basic research of the theoretical aspects of the area as well as in various applications, mostly in bioinformatics.
Complex Systems Computation (CoSCo)
Professor Petri Myllymäki
The CoSCo group investigates computational modeling issues in complex systems, and the related implementation aspects, focusing on prediction and model selection tasks. The research areas addressed include Bayesian networks and other probabilistic graphical models, data visualization, and information-theoretic approaches to learning and inference.
Computational Logic
Professor Ilkka Niemelä
Computational Logic Group develops automated reasoning techniques for solving challenging computational problems in engineering and science. The current focus is on efficient computational methods for solving large constraint satisfaction problems including SAT, SMT and rule-based constraints and on their applications in areas such as computer aided verification, automated testing, product configuration, planning, combinatorial problems and logical cryptanalysis.
Data Mining
N.N.
The developments in measurement and data collection technologies have made it possible to gather and store large amounts of information. However, the ability to analyze masses of raw data has increased at a much slower speed. The research programme on data analysis develops data mining and computational statistics methods for various application tasks.
Digital Content Communities (DCC)
Professor Marko Turpeinen, Dr Olli Pitkänen, Dr Anu Kankainen
Our research focuses on social computing, i.e., information systems that enable and support social creativity, participatory media and distributed problem solving. However, to develop successful new technologies, and bear responsibility of design decisions, we as developers should understand and anticipate the dynamics of technology-society interaction. This requires multi disciplinary end-to-end research from technological platforms to various viewpoints to their impact on the use environment.
Discovery
Professor Hannu Toivonen
We develop novel methods and tools for pattern and link discovery. Our focus is on structured and heterogeneous data, such as graphs, and also on sequences. The main applications are in bioinformatics, genetics, and in ubiquitous computing, in tight collaboration with applied scientists and companies.
Distributed Networking and Security
Professor Antti Ylä-Jääski
The group focuses on the fundaments of the Internet and the evolution of network systems. In this group we specifically emphasise heterogeneous networks and network architecture evolution primarily from the services and security dimensions. In addition to services and security the third fundamental element to our research is mobile networking.
Genome-Scale Algorithms
Professor Veli Mäkinen
We develop algorithms and data structures for the analysis of genome-scale data. Such data is abundant due to modern molecular biology measurement techniques like high-throughput sequencing. We are especially interested in applications of compressed data structures, that make it possible to analyse the often highly redundant data within the space of their information content. We also study other scalability aspects like distributed computation/storage around genome-scale data.
Mobile Computing
Professor Sasu Tarkoma
The Mobile Computing Group investigates different aspects of wireless and mobile communications. The group has a strong focus on mobile middleware and service platforms.
Networking Research
Dr Andrei Gurtov
The Networking research group investigates issues related to the architecture of the future internet, especially locator/identifier split and new approaches to establishing trust by overlay networks.
Neuroinformatics
Professor Aapo Hyvärinen
Neuroinformatics is broadly defined as the intersection of information technology and neuroscience. Our research goals are to develop new multivariate statistical methods, and to use them to build mathematical models of brain function as well as to analyse neuroscientific data.
New Paradigms in Computing
Professor Petteri Kaski
Parsimonious Modelling (PM)
Dr Jaakko Hollmén
The research group Parsimonious Modelling develops computational methods for data analysis and applies these methods on two particular application fields: cancer genomics and environmental informatics. Both of these application fields exhibit problems of high dimensional data and complex, unknown interactions between measurements.
Statistical Machine Learning and Bioinformatics
Professor Samuel Kaski
The group develops machine learning methods for statistical data mining, information visualization, exploratory data analysis, and in general for probabilistic modeling of data. By machine learning we mean flexible statistical models usable in several applications.
Ubiquitous Interaction (UIx)
Professor Giulio Jacucci
Ubiquitous Interaction (UIx) develops novel interactive applications and studies phenomena related to ubiquitous technologies.
Usable Security, Privacy and Trust (USec)
Dr Kristiina Karvonen
By employing methods provided by the field of human-computer interaction, the group seeks to create and design more usable security that enables maintaining an adequate level of security, privacy and trust among Internet users.
