14 PhD programmes in Materials Science in Germany
Design of Particulate Products
The key objective and long-term vision of the Design of Particulate Products research centre at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is the targeted design of particulate products by rigorous optimisation based on predictive structure-property and process-structure functions.
Catalysis at Liquid Interfaces
The Catalysis at Liquid Interfaces research group at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) aims to explore the highly dynamic, anisotropic environment of liquid interfaces to create, tailor and stabilise catalytically active sites with unique reactivity and performance.
Polymers - Random Coils and Beyond
This field is interdisciplinary and brings together students from physics, chemistry and materials science in an integrated graduate program. The Polymers - Random Coils and Beyond graduate program at Leipzig University provides in-depth training in interdisciplinary soft matter research.
HEiKA Graduate School on Functional Materials
The HEiKA Graduate School on Functional Materials at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) coordinates the entire process before, during and after the application. Aside supporting the Young Scientists in their scientific research leading up to their doctorate, the Graduate School offers a module program preparing them for a highly interdisciplinary research field.
2D Materials
The 2D Materials research group at TU Dresden aims to establish the next generation of synthetic 2D layered organic/inorganic/organometallic materials with high structural definition at the atomic or molecular level.
Supracolloidal Structures
The Research Training Group Supracolloidal Structures: From Materials to Optical and Electronic Components at TU Dresden aims to train a new generation of experts who will design materials made of supracolloidal structures from the drawing board to application in components.
Fracture across Scales
Fracture across Scales at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) aims to improve understanding of fracture behaviour in brittle heterogeneous materials by developing simulation methods that are able to capture the multiscale nature of failure.
Mineral-bonded Composites for Enhanced Structural Impact Safety
The primary goal of the intended Mineral-bonded Composites for Enhanced Structural Impact Safety Research Training Group at TU Dresden is to bring substantial improvements in the impact-resistance of existing buildings by applying thin layers of strengthening material.
Energy Conversion Systems - From Materials to Devices
The international doctoral program Energy Conversion Systems - From Materials to Devices at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) was established with our partner institute, the Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan, in order to better understand lead-free perovskite materials for electro- optical-mechanical energy conversion systems.
In situ Microscopy with Electrons, X-rays and Scanning Probes
The doctoral program in In situ Microscopy with Electrons, X-rays and Scanning Probes at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) combines, for the first time, three pillars of nanocharacterization into a structured research training group.
International Max Planck Research School for Chemistry and Physics of Quantum Materials
The International Max Planck Research School for Chemistry and Physics of Quantum Materials program at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids is a tri-institutional collaboration of the university, Technische Universität Dresden and the University of St Andrews.
Materials Chemistry and Catalysis
The University of Bayreuth doctoral programme "Materials Chemistry and Catalysis" is aimed at doctoral students who have a strong interest in materials and catalysis research, and want to collaborate with a high degree of professional competency and creativity in the development of high-performance materials or catalysts.
Conducive Design of Cyber-Physical Production Systems
The Conducive Design of Cyber-Physical Production Systems research group at TU Dresden deals with the design of the cooperation between human and machine in cyber-physical productions systems (CPPS).
Interactive Fiber Rubber Composites
TU Dresden researchers want to generate an innovative class of materials within the Research Training Group in Interactive Fiber Rubber Composites, i.e. fiber-reinforced composite materials including structurally integrated actuator and sensor networks.
