DESCRIPTION:Prof. Ralph Spolenak\, Laboratory for Nanometallurgy\, Departm
 ent of Materials\, ETH Zurich\nThe seminar will take place in the main aud
 itorium in Neuchâtel Campus (MC A1 272) and will be simultaneously broa
 dcasted in ELA 2.\n\nCoffee and cookies will be served at 13:00 before the
  seminar\, in front of the two auditoriums. \n\nAbstract\nThe following j
 ourney will have the “fantastic voyage” as an aim\, but lead you into 
 the small of additive manufacturing\, where the concepts of processing-mic
 rostructure-property relationships meet the concepts of size effects in te
 rms of properties\, but also the limits in processing conditions. Examples
  of multimaterial nanoadditive manufacturing in terms of mechanical and ch
 emical effects and a pathway to actual devices is presented. \n\nBio\nRal
 ph Spolenak has been Professor at ETH Zurich and Chair of the Laboratory f
 or Nanometallurgy since October 1st\, 2004 rising through the ranks from a
 ssistant to full professor. He currently serves as the Coordinator of FIR
 ST lab (a cleanroom facility of ETH Zurich) and the Chairman of the Board
  of MaP (Center of Competence for Materials and Processes) at ETH Zurich.
  Before joining ETH Zurich\, Ralph Spolenak studied physics at the Technic
 al University of Vienna\, obtained his PhD in Materials Science from the U
 niversity of Stuttgart working at the Max-Planck-Institute for Metals Rese
 arch\, spent his Postdoc time at Bell Laboratories and served as a group l
 eader in the Max-Planck-Institute for Metals Research.\n\nThe main researc
 h interests of Prof. Spolenak's group are the mechanical and functional pr
 operties of materials at the nanoscale and how these properties can be inf
 luenced by materials design approaches. The combination of testing\, chara
 cterization and modeling are essential for making significant advances in 
 this field. This comprises the development of new in situ testing methods 
 that allow for analysis at the nanoscale. Recently\, also new synthesis ro
 utes with regards to additive manufacturing at the nanometer length scale 
 have also become a core focus of the group.\n
