Prof. Gerhard Wilde, Director of the Institute of Materials Physics, the University of Münster, Germany, visited the SYNL on March 3.
Prof. Gerhard Wilde got his Ph. D. degree from the Technical University of Berlin in the Department of Metallic Materials in 1997, and then worked in the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Institute of Nanotechnology of the Karlsruhe Research Center and Saarland University. Since 2006, he has worked in the Institute of Materials Physics, the University of Münster. Prof. Wilde is a renowned scholar in the fields of nanocrystalline and amorphous materials. His research interests involve thermodynamics and kinetics of phase formation in systems far from equilibrium, deformation-induced nanostructured materials, diffusion in solid materials and surface Nano-structuring. He has authored about 150 publications in peer-reviewed journals and given more than 70 invited and plenary talks on these topics.
During his stay in the SYNL, Prof. Wilde was invited to delivere a lecture on the topic of “Materials far from equilibrium-nanostructured, nanocrystalline and amorphous metallic materials? After this, he visited the laboratories, held discussions with the scientists of Non-equilibrium Metallic Materials Division of the SYNL.
