I'm a theoretical material scientist working at the crossroads between solid-state physics, computational material science and applied mathematics. My research focuses on the modeling and simulation of material properties/evolution and related fields, such as pattern recognition and analysis. I mainly exploit continuum elasticity models, Phase-Field / Phase-Field Crystals models, and Finite Element Method calculations. I'm interested in developing continuum and coarse-grained approaches, able to explain and tailor the outcome of experiments. Since March 2021, I'm leading the Mesoscale Material Modeling & Simulations Group at TU-Dresden, IWR & Dresden Center for Comp. Mat. Sci. (DCMS) funded by the Emmy Noether Programme (DFG).

CV - Short Bio.

Research Interests

• Continuum and mesoscale modeling of material properties
• Phase-Field and (Amplitude) Phase-Field Crystal modeling
• Surface diffusion, Dewetting, Heteroepitaxy
• Defects in Crystals and Grain Boundaries
• Pattern formation and analysis, Correlated disorder
• Scientific Computing​

Master Thesis / SHK: Students (m/f/d) who aim at a research projects in computational materials science or applied mathematics are always welcome. Possible topics are (not restricted to): i) Elasticity in coarse-grained atomistic description (e.g. PFC); ii) Improvement of phase-field (PF) modeling for surface diffusion (modeling/numerics aspects); iii) PF simulation of solid-state dewetting; iv) Combining PF and Machine learning methods. If interested please contact me
