Dr. Matthias Stosiek is a Lecturer and researcher at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) , affiliated with the TUM School of Natural Sciences , Department of Physics , and the Chair of AI-based Materials Science led by Prof. Dr. Patrick Rinke. His role involves both teaching and advanced research in applying machine learning to materials science and biophysical systems. Education: PhD (Dr. rer. nat.), Universität Regensburg , 2020. Dissertation: "Self-consistent-field ensembles of disordered Hamiltonians: Superconductor-Insulator Transition" under Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Evers. Research Interests: Dr. Stosiek's research integrates machine learning with materials science and biophysics . He focuses on understanding the structure-property relationships of Lignin-Carbohydrate Complexes (LCCs) , a key component in plant biomass. His work includes developing AI-driven models to predict and optimize material properties, contributing to sustainable materials and biorefinery processes. He also explores disordered systems and superconductivity , particularly the superconductor-insulator transition in 2D materials. Publications Overview: His recent publications (2018–2025) span machine learning applications in materials science , including datasets for LCCs, optimization of polymer actuators, and AI-guided biorefinery processes. Earlier works delve into quantum transport and superconductivity in disordered systems , highlighting his expertise in both fundamental physics and applied AI. Teaching: Dr. Stosiek co-teaches courses such as "Introduction to Machine Learning for Materials Science 2" and its associated computer tutorials. He also supervises student theses, fostering the next generation of interdisciplinary scientists. Labs & Teams: He is an integral part of the Chair of AI-based Materials Science , working alongside Prof. Rinke and a multidisciplinary team including Casper Larsen, Xiangzhou Zhu, Nitik Bhatia, and Prajwal Pisal. The group is located at the Garching campus, a hub for cutting-edge research in physics and materials science at TUM.
