Currently, Dr. Räisänen is supervising research in millimeter-wave components, antennas, receivers, microwave measurements, etc. at TKK Radio Laboratory and MilliLab (Millimetre Wave Laboratory of Finland – ESA External Laboratory). The Smart and Novel Radios Research Unit (SMARAD) led by Dr. Räisänen at TKK, obtained in 2001 the national status of CoE in Research from the Academy of Finland. He has authored and co-authored some 400 scientific or technical papers and six books, e.g. Radio Engineering for Wireless Communication and Sensor Applications (Massachusetts: Artech House, 2003, with A. Lehto).
Dr. Räisänen has been Conference Chairman for 4 international microwave and millimeter wave conferences. He served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques from 2002 to 2005.In 2006 he was elected a member of the Board of Directors of the European Microwave Association (EuMA).
