پژوهشگر
Dr. Tilmann Hickel is a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials, leading the Computational Phase Studies group. He holds a PhD in physics from Humboldt-University Berlin (2005) and has been a scientific co-worker and group leader in the CM department of MPIE since 2005. His research focuses on computational materials design, defect phase diagrams, and ab initio methods to study materials thermodynamics and magnetism. Key areas include hydrogen embrittlement, grain boundary engineering, and materials informatics. Education & Career: Bachelor/Master (Dipl.-Phys.): Physics at Humboldt-University Berlin (1995-2001) PhD in Theoretical Physics: Study of many-body effects in Kondo-lattice models (2001-2005) Group Leader roles since 2006 (CM department) and 2008 (ASG Modelling at ICAMS) Research Interests: Ab initio calculations, phase diagrams for defects, magnetism in alloys, and materials data spaces. His work bridges computational methods with industrial applications like steel design and corrosion science. Publications: Recent work emphasizes workflow engineering for materials design, hydrogen effects in metals, and high-throughput studies of segregation at grain boundaries. He contributes to initiatives like NFDI-MatWerk and pyiron IDE development. Grants & Teams: Leads interdisciplinary projects on materials digitalization and defect-driven materials design. Collaborates with industry and academic partners through platforms like MaterialDigital.
