Resume

As a key academic at the Lappeenranta University of Technology with close to 20 years' scholarly research,

teaching, and supervision experiences, Mika Sillanpää has brought the laboratory’s research leadership in water

treatment at an internationally competitive level. The laboratory, which has been linked nationally and

internationally, has engaged in synergistic collaboration with over 80 research partners from the world’s leading

laboratories in six continents. He is very interested in applying cutting‐edge, fundamental and applied research

at the interface of environmental, chemical and physical sciences and engineering to develop low cost, beneficial

and practical solutions to various water problems faced by our society worldwide.

Mika Sillanpää’s research work centers on chemical treatment in environmental engineering and environmental

monitoring and analysis. More specifically, he has worked extensively with adsorption, photocatalysis,

electrochemical treatment and advanced oxidation processes as well as ion mobility spectrometry,

chromatographic methods, electrochemical sensor development and real‐time monitoring. His most recent

research work has been devoted to studying the application of nanotechnologies in the above mentioned

research fields.

A native of Finland, Mika Sillanpää received his M.Sc. (Eng.) and D. Sc. (Eng.) degrees from the Helsinki University

of Technology (presently known as Aalto University, where he also completed MBA degree in 2013). He

completed his Master studies in the field of Chemical Engineering at the Department of Chemical Engineering at

the Helsinki University of Technology (Finland) within 2.7 years, creating a new record in the history of the

Department of the University. This achievement facilitated him to be the youngest Ph.D. holder (27 years old) in

the same Department of the University in 1997. This was the starting point for him to embark on a progressive

academic career in the field of environmental engineering through publications in peer‐reviewed journals,

leading to his nomination as the youngest holding an academic rank of professorship in Finland. Since 2000, he

has been a full professor at the University of Oulu, University of Kuopio and University of Eastern Finland.

Currently, he is a professor in the Lappeenranta University of Technology and the head of the Laboratory of

Green Chemistry, Director at the Department of LUT Chemistry & LUT Savo Sustainable Technologies as well

as adjunct professor at the University of Jyväskylä and Aalto University.

Mika Sillanpää has taught courses to undergraduates and doctoral students in the fields of chemistry, chemical

engineering and environmental technology. He has contributed to the curriculum development in various

universities. He has presented his research at many of the leading academic institutions and is a regular speaker

at professional conferences around the world. He has acted as a consultant in around ten companies ranging

from global giants, such as Nokia, to SMEs. Also he has served as a board member of a start‐up company and

has had R&D collaborating with over 30 companies in all sizes. He has successfully secured as a principal

investigator a substantial funding of over 21 million euros in highly competitive calls for research funding such

as the EU Framework Programmes and Structural Funds, Tekes, the Academy of Finland, Foundations, and

industrial partners. Also, he has been invited as an external examiner and opponent of several adjunct

professorships and doctoral degrees and participated in evaluation of research proposals in around 10 countries.

He has supervised several PhDs and been a reviewer in over 100 academic journals, many of which are top‐

ranked in their fields.

Mika Sillanpää has published more than 260 articles in peer‐reviewed international journals, including

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal of Chromatography A, Environment International, Journal of

Hazardous Materials, Bioresource Technology, Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, Electrochemistry

Communications, Biosensors & Bioelectronics, Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, Analytical Chemistry, Journal

of Physical Chemistry C, Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Critical Reviews in Environmental Science & Technology,

Chemical Record, Langmuir, TRAC – Trends in Analytical Chemistry, Analytica Chimic Acta, Analyst and ACS

Applied Materials & Interfaces (all having impact factor >4). Total number of his research publications is over

460. He has served on the editorial boards of two scholarly publications. Having an h‐index of 40, his publications

have been cited over 6000 times. Two of his publications are among 0.5% top‐cited publications in the history

of the corresponding journal (journals Chemosphere and Science of the Total Environment). Many of his scientific

articles have been listed as hottest papers of the journal or even the entire research field (chemical engineering

and environmental science).

Mika Sillanpää has received numerous awards for research and innovation. For example, he is the first Laureate

of Scientific Committee on the Problems of the Environment (SCOPE)’s Young Investigator Award, which was

delivered at the UNESCO Conference in Shanghai 2010 for his “significant contributions, outstanding

achievements and research leadership in Environmental Technological Innovations to address present water

pollution problems worldwide, especially with regard to wastewater treatment and reuse”. In 2011, he was

invited to act as a Principal Scientific Reviewer in the GEO‐5 report of the United Nations Environmental

Programme (UNEP). In 2012, he received Tapani Järvinen Environmental Technology Award and also Publication

Award of the Lappeenranta University of Technology.
