This year the "ThyssenKrupp Werkstoff-Innovationspreis" (engl. ThyssenKrupp Material Innovation Prize) has been awarded to two scientists of ICAMS: Aenne Köster and Reza Darvishi Kamachali. Both scientists were honored for outstanding scientific publications in the field of scalebridging materials simulation. Ms. Köster recently published a scientific paper on an "Atomistically informed crystal plasticity model for body-centered cubic iron" in the renowned international journal Acta Materialia. Mr. Darvishi published an article on "3-D phase-field simulation of grain growth: Topological analysis versus mean-field approximations" in the same journal. ICAMS congratulates both scientists for their outstanding achievements.

The award ceremony took place in Essen in the framework of the Ideenpark.
