Biography

Magnus Ekh is a Full Professor in the Department of Industrial Materials Science at Chalmers University. His research expertise lies in Material Computational Mechanics, with a focus on modeling the mechanical behavior of materials across different scales. His work is particularly centered on the modeling of cyclic behavior in metals, where he develops macroscale models that can effectively capture phenomena associated with cyclic ratcheting, temperature dependence, and creep deformations under large strains. Additionally, his research involves the advancement of crystal plasticity models in conjunction with multi-scale modeling of polycrystals, contributing significantly to the understanding of material behavior under various conditions.
