Titel of the lecture

In Quest of High-Performance Metals

Abstract:

Lighter, yet larger aeroplanes for net-zero emission flights; development of modern renewable energy production and storage; crash-resistant vehicles. These are just a few examples of technological advancements that are only possible to achieve using novel high-performance materials capable of handling harsh working conditions. Developing such materials also minimizes the need for service, maintenance, and re-manufacturing, thus improving the sustainability aspects in grand societal and industrial challenges. This lecture presents the most modern strategies for the design and development of next-generation high-performance metallic materials (alloys). The research integrates computational modelling as well as experimental studies and has huge potential for interdisciplinary collaborations. These studies accelerates industrial innovation by opening new horizons for developing methodological tools, with far-reaching implications in strategic sectors ranging from energy storage to transportation and aerospace engineering.
