Additional information on the
Research Group (Lehrstuhl) for Materials
Science and Engineering
The Research Group (Lehrstuhl) for Materials Science and Engineering at
the Ruhr-University Bochum was founded in 1967 as part of the Institute
of Materials within the Mechanical Engineering Department. The
Lehrstuhl (Chaired Professorship) for Werkstoffwissenschaft (Materials
Science and Engineering) was held by Prof. em. Dr.-Ing. E. Hornbogen
from 1967 to 1995. In April
1995 Prof. Dr.-Ing.
G. Eggeler was appointed to this chaired position as the head of
this research group. Typically about 30 students with numerous visiting
scientists and guests are involved in the Research Group (Lehrstuhl)
for Materials Science and Engineering. The group has many
international collaborations
with materials science departments and materials research
laboratories all over the world. The Research Group (Lehrstuhl) for
Materials Science and Engineering
maintains over ten million euro worth of experimental equipment in
order
to support its educational and research objectives. These include
mechanical
test rigs, electron microscopes, numerous devices for measuring
physical properties,
and computers. With respect to teaching, the faculty in the group offer
classes covering basic aspects of material science for beginners and
advanced students with different backgrounds. |

Additional Information on the Institute for
Materials
The Institute for Materials has existed since the Ruhr-Universität
was
founded and is well known nationally and internationally. Today, the
Institute for Materials consists of the Research Group (Lehrstuhl) for
Materials Science and Engineering, the Research Group (Lehrstuhl) for
Materials Technology, and the Research Group (Lehrgebiet) for Materials
Testing. Directors
from the Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Max-Planck-Institute
Düsseldorf
are associated adjunct professors who cover the areas of
Materials
Processing and Interfaces, while an adjunct assistant professor
affiliated
with the research institute Caesar covers the area of Materials for
Micro
Devices. The Institute for Materials is therefore large enough to
perform
high level materials research and teaching. In addition to the
traditional
fields of expertise (alloy steels, light metals, hard alloys, high
temperature
materials), research at the Institute for Materials today also focuses
on new biomaterials,
functional materials (especially shape memory alloys), and materials
for micro
devices. |
