Frank Mücklich
Frank Mücklich (born August 17, 1959 in Dresden ) is a German materials researcher . He is a professor at Saarland University and heads the chair for functional materials there .
Live and act
After graduating from the Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium in Freiberg (1978) and doing basic military service with the National People's Army of the GDR , Frank Mücklich studied physical metal science and materials science at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg from 1980 to 1985 . In 1988 he was with a dissertation on "X-ray diffractometry analysis of point defects in highly perfect gallium arsenide - single crystals " at the Institute of Heinrich Oettel doctorate. He then headed the “ Metallography ” working group of the Metallkunde Institute at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg .
In 1990 Mücklich went to Günter Petzow at the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart , where he became group leader for functional metallic materials. In 1995 he followed a call to the Saarland University and built up the newly founded chair for functional materials . In 2008 he founded the European School for Materials Research and in 2009 the Material Engineering Center Saarland as a research center of the Steinbeis Foundation .
Frank Mücklich is married and has three grown children.
Research areas
Mücklich works in the areas of surface structuring and material characterization. On surfaces and thin layers, he is researching new possibilities for material functionalization, especially through pulsed laser beams as well as thin-layer phenomena and electrical discharge machining . He examines the three-dimensional structure of the materials on the micro , nano and atomic scale and works with various experimental and theoretical methods depending on the scale . Mücklich and the mathematician Joachim Ohser presented the theoretical background in the book Statistical Analysis of Microstructures in Materials Science .
