Professor of Materials Engineering / Active Materials
The Department of Materials invites applications for a faculty position on all professorial levels in the area of Materials Engineering / Active Materials. Such Active Materials may be engineered by enhancing fundamental materials properties within diverse materials classes (polymers, metals, functional ceramics) or by combining multiple material types in hybrid systems.
The properties and responsiveness of these active materials may result from their improved functionality, from their structuring into hierarchically organized entities, and/or from the assembly of individual parts with different properties into larger structures or devices. Fields of particular interest include adaptive materials and structures, integrated electrochemical systems, metamaterials, artificial sense organs, and polymer processing technology to develop novel electronic and optical devices. more details
