Ville Viikari

Associate Professor, Radio Science and Engineering


My main research topics are sub-6 GHz antennas for mobile devices, and millimeter-wave beam-steerable antennas for mobile devices, mobile networks and radars. Regarding sub-6 GHz antennas, I aim at finding solutions that would provide significantly higher efficiency than the currently used antennas. At millimeter waves, I aim at finding feasible beam-steerable antenna solutions for mobile devices and wide-band antennas whose beam is steerable across a very broad angular range in networks and radars. Besides, I develop wireless sensors powered only with ambient RF energy.

Ngu Nguyen

Doctoral candidate


Ngu Nguyen is a doctoral candidate at Ambient Intelligence Group (Department of Communications and Networking - Aalto University, Finland). Currently, he is working on emerging topics in communication technology and information security, such as backscatter sensor networks, personalized user authentication, and context-aware device pairing. He has experiences with cross-platform software development, hardware prototyping, and sensor data analytics. Before employed at Aalto University, he obtained his bachelor's and master's degree at University of Science (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) in 2009 and 2012, respectively. He worked at the same university as a lecturer until 2014 and then at Technical Research Centre for Dependency Care and Autonomous Living (Spain) as a researcher until 2015.
