The Otto-von-Guericke-University (OVGU) aims to bring together two intriguing fields (Medical engineering and engineering Materials) of research: Knowledge based Medical Imaging and Reconstruction and Engineering Materials: Processing, Microstructure, Simulation, Prediction. In order to generate synergy in both fields they established a joined Graduate School for Medical engineering and engineering Materials (MEMoRIAL).
In order to bridge (Medical engineering and engineering Materials) this gap an integrated approach will focus on the combination of materials processing, materials design, complex stress situations in materials and mathematical modelling.
PhD students in materials science and technology will have the opportunity within a four-year track to work with modern processing technologies and high-tech characterization methods such as state-of-the-art scanning electron microscopy, biaxial testing equipment and several in situ and combined methods. A four-year track is intended. For more details and specific thesis please click here.
