معرفی
Jörg F. Löffler is a Full Professor of Metal Physics and Technology at the Department of Materials, ETH Zürich, where he has been since 2003. He previously served as Chairman of the Department (2010–2013) and holds Adjunct Professor positions at Tohoku University (Japan) and a Visiting Faculty role at Caltech. His research focuses on bulk metallic glasses, metallic biomaterials, and magnetic materials, combining synthesis, characterization, and applications in biomedical and structural contexts.
- Educations: Studied Physics and Materials Science at Saarland University (Germany), earned his doctorate at ETH Zurich and Paul Scherrer Institute on magnetism and neutron scattering (1997).
- Research Trends: Recent work explores additive manufacturing (e.g., laser powder bed fusion), biodegradable magnesium alloys for implants, and magneto-structural coupling in metallic glasses. Collaborative efforts integrate in situ analysis with computational modeling.
Scientific Awards:
- International Magnesium Science and Technology Award (2023)
- MRS Fellow (2021)
- DGM 'Breakthrough' Prize (2016)
- Masing Memorial Prize (2005)
- ETH Zurich Medal (1998)
- Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (1998-2001)
Löffler advises the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UC Davis and serves on editorial boards. His group at ETH Zürich investigates advanced metallic materials using synchrotron radiation and neutron scattering facilities.
