Max Planck Institute for Iron Research

MPI für Eisenforschung GmbH | Max-Planck-Gesellschaft

About us

The institute pursues a strong interdisciplinary approach by combining chemistry, physics, metallurgy and material sciences to develop new high-performance materials for use as high-tech structural and functional components.

The MPIE is structured into four departments:

DepartmentComputational Materials Design J. Neugebauer
  • Ab initio guided multiscale approaches
  • Design of compositionally and structurally complex alloys and surfaces
  • Methods and applications in microstructure evolution and defect phases
  • Machine learning, big data infrastructure and workflows for simulations and experiments
