Research at the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering

We aim to establish a high-quality and attractive research environment for mechanical and materials engineering.

Materials engineering research focuses on creating a sustainable future through materials and technologies for energy, health and industry applications. Our approaches range from multi-scale atomistic simulations, data science and AI to experimental research. 

Mechanical engineering research comprises smart systems, laser-based manufacturing processes, thermofluids and energy technology, computational engineering, product development and design.

Industrial Engineering and Management research focuses on sustainable development and sustainability over business lifecycles.
