Our Speakers at the MSE Congress

Our experts will provide insightful talks regarding the recent developments and challenges in the design, characterization, and modeling of new dielectric materials for energy storage, with a particular focus on antiferroelectrics.

Double hysteresis loops in Pb-free ferroelectrics by microstructure design

Prof. Dr. Anna Grünebohm Interdisciplinary Centre for Materials Simulation Ruhr-University Bochum

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.
