She is the team’s cheerleader.
Bryan is a young and energetic chemist with a degree in M.Sc. (chemistry) and experience and background in analytical chemistry. He has work experience in fields of pharmaceuticals, mining industries and R&D projects. Bryan is focused on studying Timegated Raman spectroscopy applications and development of data processing algorithms and routines. Bryan is our mysterious ‘TGI man’ as seen in our completely serious TGI videos.
Veli is a hard-boiled photonics R&D guy for a variety of applications. He has managed development projects in domestic and international environments both in a large research institute and in SMEs. His core competence lies in the photonics module and optical instrument technologies. He has mentored Doctoral and Master's theses, authored scientific publications, given presentations in international conferences and acted as a reviewer in scientific journals. In free time he reads, runs, skis (usually only in winter), lifts weights and does forestry work with his best friends, the clearing saw, and the chain saw.
Risto has a M.Sc in Electronics and more than 15 years of design experience of various types of electronic gadgets including optoelectronic devices, high-speed electronics and even consumer products. Over the past five years, Risto has focused more on optoelectronic system design, single-photon counting technology, optics and optomechanics. Risto likes to act as a glue between the customer, R&D team and marketing.
Petteri is our creative and productive R&D specialist with M.Sc. in Electronics. His core competences include electronics design in analog and digital domain, optoelectronics design and system design engineering. He has a lot of experience in designing various kinds of optical measurement devices in close collaboration with mechanics, optics and software designers. Petteri is hard working electronics designer who does not give-up until the system is working. Petteri is office dog Tapsu’s best friend.
Vineeth is the youngest member of the team. He studied theoretical physics and graduated as a master of Photonics from the University of Eastern Finland in Joensuu. He has previously spent some time at ETH Zürich levitating nanoparticles with lasers. If he is not working with the photons collected by the SPAD detector he likes to hike and collect incoherent photons on CMOS sensors.
Juho has a M.Sc in Software Engineering and 13 years of versatile design and development experience. He started his career developing server backend systems, then moving on to develop embedded & desktop software for optical measurement devices. The last few years he has been developing IoT systems focusing more on the embedded side. At Timegate he can put his whole skill set in use in heading the software development activities that span from the device firmware to the cloud. He enjoys twiddling with retro computers and has a working Commodore 64 in his office as well.
Dmitri is our software engineer with B.Sc. in Automation Engineering. He has gathered experience by working with industrial hardware and test automation systems in different fields of technology. Dmitri has important role in software development of our products and related applications. If you don't find him in the lab, he's in the kitchen getting angry at an empty coffee pot.
Arttu is our production manager with a B.Sc. in Aeronautical Engineering within Mechanical and Production Engineering. He has gathered experience from diverse industries. Arttu has a decade of experience working with military aviation, mainly with helicopters, including production planning, assembly environment, maintenance planning and ERP-systems. Past couple of years he has been working with railway industry also on customer interface in after-sales and service department.
Arttu is working as a hands-on guy for production, as a goal to contribute a productional take on our production. His spare time activities support our field of work, as he enjoys of various technical challenges with radio-controlled model airplanes and basically anything powered with combustion engine.
