Our laboratory is always eagerly looking for students from Swiss Universities (e.g. ETHZ, Epfl, Uni Zürich) interested to perform a master project or thesis in our laboratory.

We currently offer the following topics for student projects:

• Environmental effect on intergranular corrosion of 2xxx Al alloys

• Effect of morphology and density of Si surface precipitates on the anodizing of Al-Si alloys

• Investigating the structure and properties of metal/ceramic interfaces by means of atomistic simulations: Designing an inter-atomic potential for the Cu/AlN system

• Investigation of AIN as a thermal barrier layer in PVD-nano-multilayered coatings

If you are interested in working on a different research topic not listed here, please ask for other opportunities.
