The research group of Electrochemical and Surface Engineering -SURF- is the merger between the former research groups 'Metallurgy, Electrochemistry and Materials Science' within the 'Materials and Chemistry' department, META/MACH, and 'Computational Electrochemistry Group' within the 'Electrical Engineering' department, CEG-ETEC. Research revolves around 5 cross-linked areas in electrochemical engineering, (nano) surface engineering and their ...
The broad research area of the present JRG is Materials Science and Engineering. More specifically, it aims at strengthening and broadening the numerous current collaborations between materials science and materials engineering in both institutions.
The originality of the present consortium is primarily that it encompasses both surface and bulk aspects since linking those two scales is crucial in the development of innovative materials. ...
There is a historical tradition in the field of materials research in Flanders, and in particular metallic materials. The research biotope is unusually versatile and includes several leading actors. Besides! The universities with extensive faculties or departments of materials science (including UGent, VUB) consist of various knowledge institutes such as OGAS, CRM, VITO, SCK and Flamac, which are active in the field of (metallic) material ...
