Nominator's project description
| Professor Rios is internationally recognized for his outstanding research on grain growth theory of crystalline materials and related materials science topics. He has made seminal theoretical contributions to challenging materials science problems such as the role of particles during grain growth or coarsening phenomena in 3D. Professor Rios combines a deep understanding of materials behaviour with sophisticated mathematical modelling approaches. During his stay in Germany he will utilize modern computer simulations to derive a more advanced and generalized theory of 3D grain growth and its application to materials processing. |
