Nominator's project description

Professor Bo Sundman is one of the world best known experts in computational thermodynamics, a rapidly growing field of research in materials science. His main contribution is thermodynamic models which together with numerical tools can predict materials properties during their processing and use. These models and techniques are today used in almost every materials science department and industries around the world. During his stay in Bochum University he will contribute in developing a new paradigm of sustainable materials data management and calculation.
