Welcome to the Institute of Materials Physics

We are very pleased to announce that Professor Reza Darvishi Kamachali has assumed the chair of "Materials Modelling" at our institute as of December 1, 2024. This chair is a joint appointment between the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) and the University of Münster.
Together with his research group, Professor Kamachali conducts multiscale modeling to investigate the process-microstructure-properties-performance relationships of primarily metallic materials. His research spans a wide range of topics, including thermodynamics and kinetics of microstructure defects, the optimization of functional and structural properties, and the development of complex multi-component alloys. CALPHAD, phase-field methods, as well as chemo-mechanics, fracture mechanics, and crystal plasticity are integrated to predict microstructural evolution and properties of materials. In his research, while full-field simulations are used to investigate microstructure development under different processing and application conditions, mean-field and modern machine learning approaches are employed to correlate microscopic features with macroscopic properties.
We are already looking forward to correlating the results of quantitative simulations with the findings from our research.
We wish Professor Kamachali and his research group much success and enjoyment in their work, and we are especially looking forward to many interesting and engaging academic discussions and collaborations.
