Welcome to our institute
The Institute for Applied Materials - Computational Materials Science (IAM-CMS) is engaged in research, teaching and transfer of knowledge about mechanical, tribological and structural properties of materials and component evaluation. We deal with fundamental as well as application-oriented questions in simulation and experiment.
To introduce the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI), the NFDI4Ing project was presented on October 15, 2020, by Professor Britta Nestler, as co-speaker at the inauguration event of the office in Karlsruhe. In an interview for the Campus-Report, following the opening of the office of the NFDI, Britta Nestler explains the importance of “preserving the treasure of raw data”.
