Professor Päivi Törmä

Päivi Törmä is a professor in the Department of Applied Physics, Aalto University and has a MSc degree from the University of Oulu, Finland, a Master of Advanced Study degree from the University of Cambridge, U.K., and PhD in 1996 from the University of Helsinki. Her research ranges from theoretical quantum many-body physics to experiments in nanophotonics. Her work has revealed a new connection between quantum geometry and superconductivity that explains why flat bands can carry supercurrent, essential in the search for superconductors that work at high temperatures. In her experiments, Päivi has worked on strong coupling of surface plasmon polariton modes and molecules, and her group succeeded in realizing the first plasmonic Bose-Einstein condensate.
