Materials and Processes
Description / Outline
New materials research and related process technologies are the bedrock for future industrial innovation particularly in the fields of sustainable energy supply, medicine and mobility. Research at the Faculty of Engineering is highly interdisciplinary and scientists in Materials Processes are developing functional and structural materials representing all length scales from atoms and molecules up to manufactured components. Designing and investigating material interfaces and surfaces is a key area in developing new approaches. To bridge the gap between designing molecular and alloy materials, functional particle systems and component design, new research approaches are needed covering a range of length and time scales. This applies to analysing structures, properties and processes, simulating materials and processes and the relevant manufacturing and processing technologies. Innovative methods and processes from combined materials research, multi-criteria optimisation, high-performance computing, artificial intelligence and 3D printing for discovering new materials and processes are playing an increasingly important role in this research.
