NOMATEN received two crucial research devices in 2021 – the X-Ray Diffractometer and Scanning Electron Microscope that help Materials Characterization and Functional Properties of Materials groups perform their research.
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a powerful and versatile tool for characterizing materials at the micro- and nanoscale. Its strength lies in its sub-nanometer resolution and the possibility of detecting multiple, complementary signals simultaneously from the same region. Elisabeth Thronsen, Department of Physics, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
The next NOMATEN Seminar "On the nature of plastic fluctuations in crystalline materials" will take place on Tuesday Oct 26th at 1PM CET
NOMATEN Junior Seminar on OCT 19th at 1.00PM CET (13:00) by Magdalena Gawęda PhD (Gdańsk University of Technology): "Silicon oxycarbide – structural and functional characterization of novel biocoatings. Application of vibrational spectroscopy and imaging in organic and inorganic samples analysis"
On October 12th Kristiina Iljin PhD from VTT will give a presentation at NOMATEN seminar. This time we will host a lecture in the field of radiopharmaceuticals: Recombinant antibody technologies at VTT
World famous scientist Nick Jones PhD MEng will be our guest at next NOMATEN Seminar on Tuesday September. He wil give a presentation on Microstructural evolution in Refractory Metal Superalloys.
New format of our seminars will start with AI/ML topic by Tomasz Odrzygóźdź from AWARElab, a postdoc researcher at the University of Warsaw: Presentation of the subgoal search method for complex reasoning tasks
NOMATEN is back with the seminars! On September 14th at 1PM Mr Tomasz Dudziak PhD Dsc Eng. will give a presentation on High temperature corrosion and materials coatings.
NOMATEN released new paper within the journal Materials Science and Engineering: A - "Nanoindentation of single crystalline Mo: Atomistic defect nucleation and thermomechanical stability". The authors team consist of Javier Dominguez PhD, Stefanos Papanikolaou PhD (Research Goup Leader - Materials informatics Structure and Function), Amin Esfandiarpour PhD, prof. Paweł Sobkowicz PhD DSc (Director for Scientific Operations) and prof. Mikko Alava PhD (NOMATEN CoE Director and Research Group Leader - Complexity in Materials).
NOMATEN plans to develop in-house functional programs and applications. We will build a software platform to facilitate data-driven methods of analyzing and predicting materials properties. Therefore, we are looking for:
- Application Developer
- Expert on artificial intelligence and machine learning to use and combine existing code, functional programs and applications, using Python, Numba and Tensorflow or Keras libraries
