New materials comprise an important foundation for technological innovations.

The professors at the Faculty of Materials Engineering work in a wide variety of research projects and offer services in their respective areas of specialty. We are involved in the analysis, characterisation, and testing of raw materials, substances, and components, and the development of new materials, systems, and optimised production and processing methods. There are a large number of different, excellently equipped laboratories in the Faculty of Material Engineering for research. We work closely with regional, national, and international industry partners. Our students also have opportunities to actively participate in the research activities at the Faculty. The following websites provide an overview of the services we provide, our available equipment, and the various research projects being carried out across the breadth of materials science.
