Presentation title：Basic Science Behind Sustainable Metallurgy

Dr.-Ing. Yan Ma is group leader of Sustainable Synthesis of Materials at Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (MPIE). He received his doctoral (2020) and master’s (2015) degrees in metallurgical engineering from RWTH Aachen University, and his bachelor’s degree (2013) from the University of Science and Technology Beijing. His current research interests pertain to fundamental physical and chemical mechanisms in hydrogen-based metallurgical processes, the physical metallurgy of ferrous alloys, and high-entropy alloys. Dr. Ma is a holder of the Walter Benjamin Position funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and he received the DGM Prize for Young Talent 2021 awarded by the German Materials Society (DGM).
