Alberto Ferrari started his PhD in September 2016 at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Materials Simulation (ICAMS), Ruhr-Universität Bochum. He is investigating the effects of ternary elements additions to Ti-Ta-based alloys at the atomistic level using ab-initio techniques. To study the phase stability and the change in martensitic start temperature as a function of the alloy composition, he employs density functional theory calculations and molecular dynamics simulations.

Research focus:

- electronic structure calculations of the stability of the relevant phases in Ti-Ta-X

- free energy calculations of the relevant phases in Ti-Ta-X

HTSMAs 2018- 2nd International Conference on High Temperature Shape Memory Alloys

15 - 18 May 2018, Irsee (Germany)

The 2^nd Conference on High Temperature Shape Memory Alloys will be held in Irsee, Germany. The Conference is organised by the Research Group "For1766" and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Materialkunde e.V. (DGM)/German Materials Society. The conference is expected to shed new light on the different aspects of the processing-microstructure-property relationships, characterisation, testing, and modelling and last but not least on applications of high temperature shape memory alloys.

Call for Abstracts

The organizing committee welcomes abstract submissions for oral or poster presentations. Abstracts are to be submitted by November 17, 2017 at the latest through the conference website (HTSMAs2018).
