Jülich offers an ideal environment for advancing data-driven materials research. By combining state-of-the-art microscopy, automation and digital infrastructure, we can gain insights that benefit both science and the development of new materials for industrial applications.
Prof. Ruth Schwaiger specialises in materials that are crucial to energy transition and is driving forward the digitalisation of materials science. Together with her team, Schwaiger is improving material design for energy applications by investigating the relationships between microstructure, properties and processing, and by developing mechanism-based descriptions of material behaviour. Her groups combine high-resolution microscopy, automation and data-driven approaches, and link experimentation with simulation to better understand the performance of materials.
Forschungszentrum Jülich is characterised by a large number of highly qualified staff, whose expertise forms the basis of our scientific excellence and innovative capacity. Many researchers are actively involved in joint projects with industry partners, applying their specialist knowledge to application-oriented challenges and practical solutions. Our strong focus on interdisciplinary collaboration enables our teams to develop better solutions and translate scientific findings into technologies relevant for future industrial applications. Through their daily work in collaborative research environments, our staff play a central role in knowledge transfer, the development of innovations and long-term partnerships with industry.
