Meet our teachers!
Ivo Leito
Ivo Leito: “Metrology lies in the core of all correct measurements, both physical and chemical. Metrological approach is increasingly required from laboratories by international standards and conventions.”
Courses: Metrology in Chemistry, Master’s seminar, practical chemical analysis
Lectures online: If you wish to get an idea what Ivo’s teaching is like, please visit the online course Estimation of Measurement Uncertainty in Chemical Analysis
Other activities: Programme director (contact)
Koit Herodes
Koit Herodes: “Within the past 10 years the whole area of trace contaminant (pesticides, drug residues, toxicants, etc) detection has been revolutionized by the development of new measurement instrumentation. I am glad that we have been able to keep pace with these developments.”
Courses: Practical Chemical Analysis, Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry
Acknowledgments: In June 2022 selected by the students as the best teacher from the Institute of Chemistry, University of Tartu.
Riin Rebane
Riin Rebane: “When entering the real life of a chemist, in order to succeed, we need a proper interdisciplinary toolbox full of various knowledge and an ability to see the big picture.”
Courses: Measurements and the law
Irja Helm
Irja Helm: “Although known as a simple analysis method, a titration can be actually really challenging task!”.
Courses: Metrology in Chemistry, Practical Works in Chemical Analysis and Metrology
Siiri Velling
Siiri Velling: “Introduction along with thorough examination of the diverse world of chemical and ecotoxicologycal methods of analysis of complex and
heterogeneous environmental samples.”
Courses: Measurements and Environment
Piia Post
Piia Post: “Sometimes it needs a lot of imagination and time to estimate measurement uncertainty.”
Courses: Measurement Data Processing
Geven Piir
- Geven Piir: “There isn’t perfect for life. Best you can do is finding optimal model to follow. Same applies for chemometrics.”.
Courses: Chemometrics
Martin Vilbaste
Martin Vilbaste: “Unreliable measurements and calibrations are just a waste of resources. Physical measurements and calibrations are probably the simplest among other kinds of measurements on metrologists’ point of view. In such a sense these are very educative.”.
Courses: Practical Works on Physical Measurement and Calibration, Modern Metrology
Päärn Paiste
Päärn Paiste: “A machine only gives out numbers. To understand what those numbers mean, one should understand how they are generated.”
Courses: Atomic Spectroscopy
