Data-driven Analysis and Design of Materials
Welcome to the chair for Data-driven Analysis and Design of Materials at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Marine Technologies at the University of Rostock.
Our research includes the analyis of materials morphologies and structures using high-resolution X-ray techniques. To this end, we develop automated workflows for image processing based in part on deep learning approaches. Additionally, we develop models for predicting material behaviour. Our research is focussed on biomaterials and we are highly interested in applying our methodologies to other materials classes and research questions

Long Night of Science 2025
From 4 pm on 15th May, we will have the long night of science at the University of Rostock and our chair will participate!
Meet us in the foyer of the research building of the department Life, Light and Matter in Albert-Einstein-Str. 25.
We will show you how you can reconstruct three-dimensional obects from their shadows.
If you want to know more about the methodology, check out this paper.
Engaging with the Community at InMAT 2025
At the 6th International Conference on Intelligent Materials (InMAT 2025), held from March 31 to April 2 in Rostock, Bianca presented a poster entitled "Bridging the Gap: 2D to 3D Image Translation and Super-Resolution Imaging via Deep Learning." The work Bianca presented is a collaboration with Dr. Sarah Irvine and Dr. Julian Moosmann from Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon. This was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our work, exchange ideas, and network with colleagues from the scientific community.

Keynote at TMS 2025
Berit was invited to give a keynote talk on “Computational modelling of Mg alloy biodegradation and bone growth” at this year's TMS 2025, which took place 23-27th March in Las Vegas, USA. The talk was part of the Magnesium Technology Symposium and Berit reported the most recent experimental and computational work conducted both from her role at the Institute of Metallic Biomaterials at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon and the chair Data-Driven Analysis and Design of Materials.
The travel to the conference was partially funded by the Female Professors Program III.
Exploring Synchrotron Radiation: A Highlight of MATRAC-1 School Participation
From March 23 to 28, Bianca attended the MATRAC-1 School which took place in Hamburg and Lund. The event focused on the application of neutrons and synchrotron radiation in the structural analysis of engineering materials. A key highlight was the hands-on training, where participants spent two days conducting experiments at renowned facilities like PETRA III and MAX IV. This experience provided invaluable exposure to cutting-edge technology and the chance to network with experts and peers from across Europe.
