Juho Yliniemi
DSc
Post-doctoral researcher
Alkali-activated materials; Geopolymers
Biography
Juho is a post-doctoral researcher in the Fibre and Particle Engineering Research Unit, where he completed his doctoral studies in 2017. During his studies Juho worked with alkali activation and granulation of biomass fly ashes. His thesis was accepted with "Pass with distinction" mark. The on-going research is related to alkali activation of mineral wool wastes and slags with main focus being in improving the solubility of inorganic sidestreams in alkaline conditions.
Research interests
- Utilisation of inorganic waste and residues
- Sustainable cementitious materials
