Biography

Simo Särkkä received his Master of Science (Tech.) degree in engineering physics and mathematics, and Doctor of Science (Tech.) degree in electrical and communications engineering from Helsinki University of Technology, Espoo, Finland, in 2000 and 2006, respectively. Currently, he is a Full Professor in Aalto University (started 2015, tenured 2019, full from 2024) and an Adjunct Professor (= Docent) with Tampere University and LUT University. He is also a Fellow of European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS), and he is the leader of AI Across Fields (AIX) program and AI for Health SIG in Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence (FCAI).

From 2000 to 2010 he worked with Nokia Ltd., Indagon Ltd., and Nalco Company in various industrial positions related to telecommunications, positioning systems, and industrial process control. From 2010 to 2013 he worked as a Senior Researcher with the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Computational Science (BECS) at Aalto University, Finland, and also held the position of Academy Research Fellow for 2013-2018.

His and his group's research interests are in multi-sensor data processing systems with applications in location sensing, AI methods in health and medical technology, machine learning, inverse problems, and brain imaging. He has authored or coauthored more than 200 peer-reviewed scientific articles and his books "Bayesian Filtering and Smoothing" and "Applied Stochastic Differential Equations" have been published via Cambridge University Press. He is a Senior Member of IEEE.
