Upcoming Webinar 

Materials Design presents an interview with a pioneer in computational materials design: Prof. Gregory B. Olson


As the “father of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME)”, Prof. Olson will explain how accurate density functional calculations have profoundly changed the field of materials design and enabled the acceleration of the development of new alloys such as high-performance steels for aerospace applications. Based on his tremendous experience, he will give us a perspective of the field of computational materials engineering with recommendations for the next generation of engineers.

Speakers

Dr. Leonid Kahle

Greg B. Olson


Professor Olson joined the MIT Department of Materials Science and Engineering as the Thermo-Calc Professor of the Practice in January 2020. He earned all his degrees from MIT, starting with a BS in 1970. He worked with Professor Morris Cohen for his PhD, finishing in 1974, and held positions as research associate, principal research associate, and senior research associate. In 1988, he took a tenured full professor position at Northwestern University, where he was later awarded the Walter P. Murphy Chair. In 1997 Professor Olson founded Questek Innovations, a company that applies ICME toolkits to solve industrial problems, including the first documented commercial successes in computational steel design.




Dr. Erich Wimmer


Erich Wimmer received his doctoral degree from the Technical University in Vienna, Austria. As a post-doctoral fellow in the group of Professor A. J. Freeman at Northwestern University, Erich was instrumental in the development of the original FLAPW method. Prior to co-founding Materials Design, Erich managed software development and led teams at CRAY Research and BIOSYM Technologies.
