"Theoretical and experimental investigation of Arctic ice formation during the summer months employing metallic model alloys in application to climate change“
The project aims the combination of modern experimental techniques and mathematical modeling describing phase transformations to meet nowadays challenges in understanding environmental and climate development. The formation of arctic ice during the summer months is studied with metallic alloys as model system. Experiments on the resolidification of semisolid alloys in temperature and concentrations gradients will be used for verifying and extending a mathematical/physical model describing underlying processes of mass and heat transport from microscale to global climate (budget).

“Dynamics of melting processes in multiphase alloys”
The project investigates the pattern formation and microstructure selection during melting and melting/solidification (M/S) processes in eutectic and peritectic alloys. Multiphase melting is studied by controlled experiments employing temperature gradients on thin films (Sorbonne university, Paris) as well as bulk samples (Institute Jean Lamour, Nancy) with tailored microstructures (FSU Jena) along with phase-field numerical simulations (Access, Aachen).
