TPM researcher Aaron Ding has recently been appointed adjunct professor (Dosentti) in computer science at the University of Helsinki. This appointment, a permanent academic title for Ding, significantly strengthens the academic link between TU Delft and Helsinki, especially in terms of education exchange and EU-level research collaborations.

The department of computer science at University of Helsinki is a leading research and education unit in Northern Europe. The research groups address significant research challenges in their areas of expertise, such as AI, data analytics, networking systems, security and privacy. A highlight in the contribution to the computer science field is the Linux kernel. It has been invented at the University of Helsinki from the NODES research group where Ding graduated.
