We do the metals! Welcome to the webpage of Robert Maass and enjoy exploring our fore-front research activities around structural and functional metallic materials.
Metals are central to society and a simple look around will reveal numerous metallic objects from which you profit every day. Your car frame is metallic (thanks God!), small-scale devices in your smart phone are made from metals, or at my age you may have encountered them as implant materials. They are everywhere and without them there is no engineering.
Our research solves central problems in the field, uncovers and mitigates fundamental degradation mechanisms, and drives the development of new metals. Together with our collaborators, we combine fundamentals with technology.
