The group develops multiscale models, ranging from electronic level to macroscale to study engineering materials, such as steels, shape memory alloys, Zr-, Ti- and Ni-based alloys. The group specializes in different modelling approaches, such as Molecular dynamics, Phase-field, Thermokinetic and Finite element modelling. The group collaborates with renowned theoretical physicists and materials scientists in USA and Europe in the areas of condensed matter physics, Density Functional Theory and microstructural characterization.
Research areas
- Computational materials science
- Multiscale materials modelling
