Janne Halme

Janne Halme is a researcher and educator specializing in solar energy, with a focus on photoelectrochemical energy conversion, coloured photovoltaics, and ecologically sustainable energy systems. He is interested in bridging physics, engineering, and artistic research to explore how renewable technologies can actively restore nature and foster deeper ecological relationships in the design of future energy systems. In his current and future work, he is particularly interested in nature-inclusive approaches that support biodiversity and ecosystem regeneration. Besides teaching and doing research as a lecturer at the Department of Applied Physics at Aalto University, Finland, he is developing an artistic practice based on nature printing of dye-sensitized solar cells in an evolving body of work called Photovoltarium.
