Granularity of Structural Information in Materials Engineering

In our research group Granularity of Structural Information in Materials Engineering, we use a nano-engineering approach to develop new metallic materials. We design the materials considering their full life cycle, from the chemistry and structural design, to the enhancement of material performance and recycling properties. By using a multi-scale correlative characterization method, together with materials simulation tools, we tune the fine structures at nano-scale to achieve the tailored properties of the materials.

Our process solutions aim to support a carbon-neutral economy, in particular for automotive and hydrogen energy applications. We explore sustainable solutions in an interdisciplinary regime and work closely with industrial partners, to develop smart and green materials for future.
