Stefan Pogatscher

Stefan Pogatscher is a Professor at the Department of Nonferrous Metallurgy, University of Leoben, Austria. His research focuses on phase transitions in non-equilibrium metallic systems, particularly the decomposition kinetics of quenched supersaturated solid solutions and metallic glasses. He works on technological challenges in AlMgSi alloys, exploring low-temperature solute clustering, aging behavior, and the role of trace elements. His work also investigates advanced concepts like 'diffusion on demand' and employs fast scanning calorimetry for in-situ measurements of non-equilibrium vacancy evolution.

The University of Leoben's Department of Nonferrous Metallurgy addresses key topics in materials science, including thermodynamics, kinetics, and alloy design. Stefan Pogatscher's research bridges fundamental understanding and industrial applications in non-ferrous metallurgy.
