Davide Sangiovanni is an Associate Professor at Linköping University specializing in the understanding of electronic mechanisms and atomistic phenomena to control the mechanical properties, phase transformations, and surface reactivity of metals and ceramics. His research focuses on employing advanced calculations and simulations using supercomputers to explore several key areas. These include the bottom-up design of refractory ceramic alloys and superlattices that retain high mechanical strength and toughness at elevated temperatures above 1000 ºC, as well as gaining atomistic electronic-scale insights into gas/surface reactions and mass transport in bulk and 2D materials. His work also extends to the determination of the thermodynamic and kinetic conditions necessary for phase transformations and phase segregation in alloys, alongside the development of theoretical methods and models for evaluating material properties under conditions relevant to practical applications. In addition to his research, he is responsible for teaching Computational Physics to 4th-year students and assists in undergraduate courses.
Requirements are standardized across the Faculty of Science and Engineering (Institute of Technology) for international Master's programs.
