Professor Claudia Tesche initiated, together with the late academician Olli V. Lounasmaa, a joint project between IBM and the Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) to develop multichannel DC SQUID-based magnetoencephalographic (MEG) arrays. As a result of this project, Finnish brain researchers gained, for several years, an advantage over other scientists in applying MEG methodology to brain research, and the project also facilitated considerable development of MEG instrumentation in Finland and worldwide.
Professor Tesche worked for eight years as a senior scientist and as a visiting professor in the Brain Research Unit of TKK’s Low Temperature Laboratory. She has received notable recognition for her work and is a fellow of the American Physical Society.
Claudia Tesche is the director of the Transcranial Stimulation Laboratory, Department of Psychology at The University of New Mexico, in the United States. She has a Ph.D. in physics from the University of California, Berkeley, and has been a research scientist at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Laboratory. Her doctoral thesis was on the noise and optimisation of DC SQUIDs.
Prof. Tesche will be awarded honorary doctorate in technology at Aalto University on October 10th, 2014.
