Jan Wegner

Jan Wegner is a Researcher at the Chair of Manufacturing Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Duisburg-Essen. His work focuses on additive manufacturing (AM) of metallic materials, particularly bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) and diamond-reinforced composites, using laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M).

• Current affiliation: University of Duisburg-Essen, Institute for Product Engineering
• Key research areas: Additive manufacturing, laser processing, metallic glasses, material qualification, electrocatalysis
• Collaboration: Active in Stefan Kleszczynski's Lab, with co-authors across institutions (e.g., Ralf Busch, Maximilian Frey)

His research explores BMG fabrication challenges, including crystallization control, process gas effects, and thermal management. Recent studies emphasize optimizing mechanical isotropy via ultrasonic assistance and in-situ temperature monitoring through phosphor techniques.

Publications highlight interdisciplinary trends in AM, combining materials science, electrochemistry, and precision manufacturing. While no specific awards are listed, his 43+ publications and 7,870+ reads on ResearchGate indicate significant academic engagement.
