TU Dresden welcomed His Royal Highness Prince Edward, Duke of Kent. As part of his visit to Dresden, he was particularly interested in gaining an impression of the scientific work conducted at Saxony’s largest university and East Germany’s only University of Excellence with the exception of Berlin. Moreover, TU Dresden also has close ties to…
Materials researchers from both sides of the Channel intend to establish globally leading network The unique transCampus London–Dresden, which transcends national borders, is growing steadily. The two top academic institutions, King’s College London (KCL) and Technische Universität Dresden (TUD), are now extending their co-operation to the field of materials research. transCampus was launched in 2015…
The scientist Dr. Robert Biele has received the prestigious Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions research grant to explore thermoelectricity at the nanoscale together with Prof. Gianaurelio Cuniberti at the Chair of Materials Science and Nanotechnology. Dr Biele did his PhD in the Nano-Bio-Spectroscopy Group at the University of the Basque Country in Spain and his research focuses…
DAYS FOUR AND FIVE The last two days of the summer school consisted of several talks about recent and ongoing research. A wide variety of topics were presented, such as optoelectronics and photovoltaics, discovery of magnetic materials, simulations for nanoelectronic engineering and thermal transport. Three participants presented their work in a dedicated session. On Friday,…
DAY THREE The third day started with Prof. Jörg Behler from the Georg-August-Universität in Göttingen giving a very interesting lecture on high dimensional neural network potentials. After an exciting introduction to machine learning techniques, including pitfalls and potential artefacts, he showed how ML techniques can be applied to constructing atomistic potentials relying on simple but very…
DAY TWO On the second day of the summer school, Prof. Cecilia Clementi (Rice University) gave a lecture on learning effective molecular models using machine learning methods. In particular, she addressed the problem to capture rare events – like protein folding – in molecular dynamics simulations and how to achieve long-time simulations using “short-time” data….
DAY ONE Day one of our international summer school Materials 4.0 – Deep Materials: Perspectives on data-driven materials research started with three lectures covering mathematical basics, practical usage and applications of machine learning methods. The first lecture was given by Prof. Roger French (Case Western University). He introduced the concept of big data and the resulting…

Can solids wet surfaces? Controlling the self-assemby of complex nano-architecture made of single-crystal silicon. Wettability of surfaces affects several natural phenomena and plays a crucial role in practical applications such as printing, adhesion, lubrication, etc. Several thin-films made of organic and inorganic materials tend to break-up in small drops when processed at high temperatures, still…
