Biography

Juho Ratava received his M.Sc. in Information Technology from LUT University (then Lappeenranta University of Technology) in 2008 and his D.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering in 2015. Since 2019, he's been an associate professor (Finnish tutkijaopettaja, now permanent post) at LUT School of Energy Systems, teaching applied and engineering mathematics.

His research, until 2021, is focused on applying mathematical models and, especially, soft computing methods to optimising manufacturing process efficiency in fields such as metal cutting, welding, and laser ablation. Since then, Juho has had a teaching-heavy post, and as such, his research interests have expanded to include engineering education. Juho is currently teaching courses related to numerical methods and material physics as well as officially or unofficially advising various theses.
