research activities
Investigation of the formation mechanisms, structure, phase transformations, deformation behavior, mechanical and physical properties of metallic glasses, nanostructured glassy-crystalline/
Computer-simulation to materials science (phase transformations, crystallography).
In general, the area of expertise is Physical Metallurgy of metals and alloys which establishes the relationships between the structure of materials and their properties. This subject includes the following topics: solidification, micro- and nano-structure, crystallography, phase transformations, processing, mechanical properties and deformation behavior of metallic materials.
