Description
Information about the research
Our research foucuses on the relationship between the microstructure and properties of engineering materials and how they relate to the processing and performance during service. We work with a variety of experimental and numerical techniques for the identification and characterization of different features and phenomena on the micro, nano and atomic scale. Our aim is to engage in high quality research with industrial and societal relevance.
Major responsibilities
The goal with a PhD-position is to develop general research proficiency and a high competence within your specific research area. As a PhD-student, you will primarily conduct research, often together with other researchers and PhD-students.
