Kalle Lintinen, CTO

Dr. Kalle Lintinen has been working with experimental chemistry for nearly two decades in fields ranging from protection against chemical warfare agents, building next generation organic solar cells and functional coatings for the electronics industry. Serendipitously all of the skills learned in these fields helped Kalle to come up with a completely different way of using lignin. Kalle jumped into studying lignin nanospheres just as they were first found, and has made several inventions that convert them from a scientific curiosity into a powerful tool for replacing petrochemical products and making the planet a greener place.

Alexander Henn,
Head of R&D

Doctoral researcher Alexander Henn started researching lignin nanospheres on the side of his Bachelor's studies in Prof. Österberg's research group in 2017. He has taken a multidisciplinary route, being cunning in both biomaterials engineering and synthetic biology. His experience and creativeness have been a significant part in developing the new applications for lignin that LignoSphere is offering. Because he started his academic career early, it is difficult to find a younger expert on lignin nanospheres and their applications than Alex.
