YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
The successful candidate will establish a cutting-edge, internationally visible research programme at the intersection of process engineering, data science and materials development. This professorship focuses on the advancement of materials process informatics, emphasising the design, optimisation and automation of synthesis and transformation pathways for the production of advanced materials. In contrast to materials informatics, which primarily targets the prediction and discovery of materials based on property databases, this role highlights process informatics: leveraging data to enhance process understanding, design, efficiency, scalability and reproducibility.
