Engineering Materials & Applications (EMAP)
The Engineering Materials & Applications (EMAP) research group focuses on developing innovative solutions to successfully bridge the gap between fundamental research and industrially compatible products and processes. This is done in a wide range of fields, from materials physics and chemistry to electronics, electromechanics and electrochemistry. Cooperation with industrial ...
The main activities of our research group are related to the development of new and improved materials systems and advanced production methods. The research focus is on alloy systems as well as on novel materials such as nanomaterials, coatings and thin films.
The activities of the research unit Mechanics of Materials, Products and Processes (MeM2P) at Campus Gent are aimed at gaining a better understanding of the mechanical behavior of materials in industrial applications. This is done by devising new experimental methods based on optical techniques, especially DIC (using own developed code) on the one hand and new numerical techniques that facilitate the identification of this behavior (using ...
