The Materials Science department of the TU Darmstadt is pleased to announce a new partnership with the University of Uppsala. The collaboration agreement was initiated by the Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio (CRC/TRR) 270 HOMMAGE (speaker Prof. Oliver Gutfleisch) from the TU Darmstadt side as well as by Dr. Heike Herper and Prof. Olle Eriksson from the Physics department at University of Uppsala. It comprises intents to collaborate more closely in future research projects and proposals. It also includes an ERASMUS+ contract between the universities to foster and fund exchange option for students, PhD candidates, Postdocs and lecturers.
The CRC/TRR 270: HOMMAGE - Hysteresis design of magnetic materials for efficient energy conversion
HOMMAGE is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) as the Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio (CRC/TRR) 270. The cross-location research project involves researchers from Technische Universität Darmstadt, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials and Ernst Ruska-Centre for Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Electrons (ER-C) at Forschungszentrum Jülich. Their common goal is the development of new magnetic materials for efficient energy technologies. This requires to gain a detailed understanding of the structural, magnetic and electronic interactions within the material in order to adjust the local and global properties by new processing techniques to be developed like additive manufacturing and severe plastic deformation methods.
The spokesperson for CRC/TRR 270 is Prof. Oliver Gutfleisch, head of the Functional Materials research group at TU Darmstadt.
