Stoichko Antonov

Stoichko Antonov is a former member and Deputy Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Iron Research (MPIE) as a Humboldt Fellow. Previously, he served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Science and Technology Beijing. His research focuses on phase transformations, microstructural evolution, and hydrogen embrittlement in advanced alloys, employing techniques like atom probe tomography and electron microscopy.

Education:

• PhD in Materials Science (2013-2017), Illinois Institute of Technology

Research Interests:
Dr. Antonov investigates the processing-microstructure-property relationships in Ni-, Co-based superalloys, and Ti alloys. His work emphasizes understanding deformation mechanisms and environmental degradation (e.g., hydrogen embrittlement) in extreme environments, leveraging advanced characterization tools. Recent efforts highlight the role of microstructural evolution in material performance under harsh conditions.

Awards:

• Humboldt Fellowship (2020–Present)

Advising & Grants: Specific grant details are not provided, but his role as a Humboldt Fellow indicates sustained research funding. No formal advisees are listed in publicly available records.

Labs & Teams: Associated with the Microstructure Physics and Alloy Design department at MPIE, collaborating on alloy design for extreme environments.
