The program provides proper training for researchers and inventors of new materials and technologies, who specialize in the field of mechanical engineering, aerospace industry and non-ferrous physical metallurgy. Throughout the courses, students analyse structure and properties formation of the metallic details, use multicomponent phase diagrams for optimization of alloy composition and heat treatment, detect causes of the production defects and breaking of the metallic constructions during operation, use computer programs and CAD/CAM software for the production of the materials. The ultimate goal of the program is to train highly qualified specialists capable of working in both research laboratories and the industrial sector, solving the critical problems in the field of Materials Science.
Upon completion of the program, graduates will be able to develop new materials and technologies, build models of structure and properties evolution during treatment of alloys and use the models for prediction and calculation of properties, use multicomponent phase diagrams for optimization of alloy composition and heat treatment, detect causes of the production defects and breaking of the metallic constructions during operation, work with literature and patents for obtaining of the patentability and technical level of the product, perform researches in the field of physical metallurgy, solve the theoretical and applied problems of the physical metallurgy using system approach, choose methods and tests for estimation of alloys physical, mechanical, operational properties and structure, use databases, computer programs, and CAD/CAM software for the materials production problems solving, create technical documentation, scientific reports concluding the results of the investigation.
The key advantages of the program
The focused scientific track
For each student, we form a scientific and educational track based on his research interests, which allows him to concentrate on scientific work and deepen the required knowledge in particular disciplines.
Effective research supervision
Research work under the supervision of senior staff includes theoretical and experimental studies, publications in scientific journals, presentations and conferences for young scientists. Thus, supervisors encourage students to work and plan independently, give support and guidance, providing continuous motivation throughout the program. Students can also choose the supervisor based on their research topic and professional experience.
Metallic materials specialization
Materials science comprises a wide range of different materials, so the defining point of this program is the specialization in metallic materials. Thus, students conduct their research in the field of physical metallurgy: advanced aluminium alloys, super plasticity of metallic materials, modelling and simulation in physical metallurgy, new non-ferrous metal matrix composites, biocompatible materials and shape memory alloys, metallic glasses, additive manufacturing, elastic and anelastic behaviour of metallic materials.
Practice-oriented learning
Students work in teams for industrial projects and collaborate with scientists and students from other universities. In terms of scientific work, students have direct access to the latest advances in the development of alloys and use modern scientific equipment (training simulators, specialized software) during their research.
Publications in the first-quartile journals
Students actively publish their research papers, as well as co-authored articles in scientific journals with a high impact factor. We invite leading scientists as reviewers, and we also help students to increase the Hirsch index.
