Research strategy

From materials to the component – in accordance with this maxim the Professor for Material Technology connects fundamental material research with the development of technology for the production, processing and refinement of materials all the way up to their application. Material system solutions can be developed due to the awareness, forged by a close contact with industrial partners, of application specific problems.
