At the invitation of the RUB Research School as part of the “Visiting International Professor” program, Prof. Mujica from Colombia is currently staying at the Chair of Materials Engineering. During her stay, she is coordinating joint research activities with ECR Dr. Lentz, group leader at LWT, and contributing her expertise to the supervision of doctoral students. We are pleased to welcome Prof. Mujica as a guest researcher at RUB and to further expand the scientific exchange with her.
We are pleased to announce that our research associate Philip König was honored with a Presentation Award for his presentation of the paper “Nitrogen-Enhanced Martensitic Cr Steel: Advancing Strength, Corrosion Resistance, and Sustainability in Additive Manufacturing” at this year's World PM (Powder Metallurgy World Congress & Exhibition) in Yokohama, Japan.
The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) has approved the establishment of a new Collaborative Research Center (SFB) dealing with the reuse of existing structures. Prof. Dr. Peter Mark from the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering at RUB is the spokesperson for the SFB. Together with Prof. Dr. Daniel Balzani, the LWT is involved with a sub-project focusing on the residual load-bearing capacity of concrete steels from existing structures.
We would like to congratulate our research assistant Aaron Berger on his successful doctoral examination. The title of his dissertation is “Understanding thermophysical properties across length-scales: A study on metallic materials”.
A LOOK BEHIND THE SCENES
A virtual tour through the different laboratories and rooms of our chair as well as the associated halls and the equipment located there can be found here.
FUTURE-ORIENTED RESEARCH
The research focus of our chair lies in the new and further development of metallic materials with the inclusion of the relevant processes.
SUSTAINABLE AND INNOVATIVE
Our concept is characterized by innovative research under the responsibility for sustainable development and responsible use of energy and resources.
INNOVATIVE COOPERATION
The LWT is staffed by a diverse team of PostDocs, PhD students and student employees, supported by technical and administrative staff.
