Ivan Kaban

Dr. Ivan Kaban serves as Group Leader for X-ray Diffraction at the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (IFW Dresden), where he leads research in advanced materials characterization. With over 112 journal papers since 2010, 4 contributions to proceedings, and 30 invited talks, his work focuses on the structural and thermodynamic properties of metallic glasses, phase transformations, and alloy systems.

His research spans

• Metallic glass formation and crystallization kinetics
• In situ X-ray diffraction studies of phase transformations
• Corrosion mechanisms in biomedical metallic glasses
• Liquid-solid phase separation phenomena
• Additive manufacturing of advanced alloys

His experimental approach combines high-speed imaging, synchrotron radiation, and flash-annealing techniques to investigate non-equilibrium processes in materials.

Dr. Kaban's publication record shows consistent output in top journals including Acta Materialia, Nature Communications, and Advanced Science, with recent work (2023-2025) increasingly focusing on additive manufacturing applications and chalcogenide glass systems. His collaborative network includes researchers from Germany, France, China, Japan, and the United States.
