Research

The science of hierarchially organised systems (primarily metals) and x-ray physics. Basic science exploiting new 3D imaging methodologies to visualise the structure and stress on all lengths scales and thereby guide multiscale modelling, e.g. within the topics plasticity, coarsening and flow. Large projects related to x-ray science and applied mathematics at international large scale facilities and national infrastructures. I head the national competence center, the 3D imaging center, the SOLID Lighthouse and the Materials Physics in Time and Space (4DMAP) section.
