Dr. Veikko Linko received his M.Sc. (2007) and Ph.D. (2011) degrees in Physics from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, and carried out a 2-year postdoctoral research period at the Technische Universität München, Germany, in Prof. Hendrik Dietz’s group (2011−2013). Since 2013, he has worked as a Postdoctoral researcher / Research fellow in Biohybrid Materials group at the Aalto University School of Chemical Engineering under supervision of Prof. Mauri Kostiainen. In 2015 he was granted a Title of Docent at the University of Jyväskylä in the field of Molecular Nanotechnology (Physics) and in 2018 at the Aalto University in Bionanotechnology (Chemical Engineering). In 2017 he was a visiting scientist at the Universität Paderborn, Germany, in Dr. Adrian Keller’s Nanobiomaterials group. His research interests include structural DNA nanotechnology, self-assembled and biohybrid materials, drug-delivery applications, nanolithography, molecular electronics, and plasmonics.
