The Laboratory of Materials (LoM) is part of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Thessaly and is located in the area of Volos in Central Greece. The laboratory was established in 1995 and operates with research and educational activities specializing in metallic alloy research.
LoM expertise is in the field of alloy design and materials
process simulation by applying CALPHAD-based computational alloy thermodynamics
and kinetics. LoM has developed the ALLOYNEERING
methodology based on Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME)
approaches. LoM is also active in materials characterization,
laser materials processing, corrosion and failure analysis issues. LoM performs research projects for industry and
the EU. Extensive experience has been accumulated in LoM’s researchers through
their involvement in more than EU and national research projects and more than
a hundred problem-solving industrial contracts.
LoM has a strong application-oriented approach.
Input and questions from industry are essential to guide the research, which is
directed to the solution of practical problems. Numbers
The Director of LoM LoM is
directed by Dr. Greg Haidemenopoulos, who is a Professor of Physical
Metallurgy at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UTH since 1992. Greg holds
a Ph.D. degree in Physical Metallurgy from MIT (1988). He is the developer of
the ALLOYNEERING Methodology for Alloy design. He is the author of the textbook
Physical Metallurgy: Principles and Design, published by CRC Press in
2018. |
