Students supervised by Helger Lipmaa

Students from Tartu

Before I left to Finland in 2000, I was happily supervising a number of MSc and PhD students from Tartu:

• Meelis Roos (PhD student)
• Sven Heiberg (MSc student)
• Priit Karu (MSc student)
• Oleg Mürk (MSc student)
• Sven Laur (PhD student, MSc in 2003). He spent the Spring 2003 in Helsinki, finishing his MSc, and starting to write with me papers on his upcoming PhD topic.

(Note: a MSc student in Tartu has defended her/his BSc degree and is therefore not considered to be undergraduate anymore).

I am now again accepting students from Tartu!

Students from Helsinki

Until 31.03.2005, I worked at the Helsinki University of Technology. When leaving, I had three students working under me, Emilia Käsper (BSc 2004), Sven Laur (MSc 2003), and Johan Wallén (MSc 2003). Johan and Sven were PhD students. Emilia defended her BSc thesis in 2004. I also had some "industrial" PhD students (by some reason they were still working in industry): Tatiana Issaeva, Lauri Tarkkala, Alexey Vyskubov etc. Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen and Silja Mäki were previously associated with me.
