Anna Grünebohm is Juniorprofessor for „Modelling and Simulation for Materials Design“ and Head of the Emmy-Noether group: “Scale-bridging computational design of multifunctional ferroelectric composites” at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Materials Simulation (ICAMS) at Ruhr-University Bochum.
She studied Physics at the University of Duisburg-Essen from 2003–2008 and completed her dissertation “An ab initio study of multicomponent polar oxide based systems in combination with ferromagnetic metals” in 2012. She did a Post-doc in the Priority Programme 1599 „Ferroic Cooling--New concepts for caloric cooling“ and has been awarded with the Innovation Award of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia in 2020.
Her research focuses on the fundamental understanding and optimization of the microstructure in BaTiO3 based ferroelectric materials by scale-bridging simulations.
