DESCRIPTION:Prof. Sandra Korte-Kerzel\, Aachen University\, Germany\nNew m
 ethods and opportunities across the scales -  On complex crystals\, latti
 ce defects and deformation damage\n\nAt IMM in Aachen we aim achieve new i
 nsights into the physical mechanisms of deformation of intermetallic and m
 etallic materials (and their composites). We do this across the scales fro
 m the crystal structure of intermetallics to the formation of µm-sized po
 res and cracks in steels during forming. In this presentation\, I will the
 refore provide an introduction to three topics: (1) the search for new des
 criptors of plasticity in complex intermetallic crystals\, with the aim to
  provide us with better guidance to identify promising hard\, but also suf
 ficiently tough\, phases\; (2) our recent efforts to join the concepts of 
 defect engineering and phase stability in order to develop a new framework
  considering defects\, like dislocations or grain boundaries\, in terms of
  their atomic structure and chemistry which at the same time also gives th
 em a thermodynamic stability\; and (3) the use of machine learning to anal
 yse damage mechanisms in dual phase microstructures\, where heterogeneity 
 from the micro-scale of individual phases to the macro-scale of banded she
 ets requires a combination of both high resolution and large area observat
 ion in electron microscopy – and us to re-evaluate how rigorously we ana
 lyse and interpret our data normally.\n\nBio:\nProf. Sandra Korte-Kerzel i
 s head of the Institute of Physical Metallurgy and Materials Physics (IMM)
  and holds the Chair of Materials Physics at RWTH Aachen University. After
  her studies in Aachen\, Christchurch (NZ) and Cambridge (UK)\, she was Ju
 nior Professor of Micromechanics of Materials at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg be
 fore coming to Aachen in 2013. She is spokesperson of the Collaborative Re
 search Centre SFB 1394 ‘Structural and Chemical Atomic Complexity – Fr
 om Defect Phase Diagrams to Material Properties’ and was awarded an ERC 
 Starting Grant in 2019 on ‘Fundamental Building Blocks –Understanding 
 plasticity in complex crystals based on their simplest\, intergrown units
 ’ (FunBlocks).
