Mathias Goken

Prof. Goken has held the chair for general material properties at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg since 2002 and is also a member of the collegial management of the Central Institute for New Materials and Process Technology in Furth. Prof. Goken studied physics at the University of Münster and then wrote a doctoral thesis at the MPI fur Eisenforschung GmbH in Dusseldorf in the field of fracture-mechanical investigations of NiAl using the atomic force microscope. He was then a group leader at the chair of Prof. Vehoff at Saarland University, where he also habilitated and worked for a year as a Humboldt fellow at Stanford University, USA with Prof. WD Nix. His research area is the mechanical properties and microstructure of different materials and coatings. Important fields of work are high-temperature materials such as Ni and Co-based superalloys and TiAl alloys, ultra-fine-grained materials and nanomaterials, and the development and application of nanomechanical characterization processes. Prof. Goken is active as a project manager in the Erlangen Cluster of Excellence Engineering of Advanced Materials and has published over 250 publications. He has a long connection to the DGM and headed a working group on atomic force microscopy and nanomechanics for over 10 years, was a member of the Prize Board II, and was awarded the Masing Memorial Prize in 2000. such as Ni- and Co-based superalloys and TiAl alloys, ultrafine-grained materials and nanomaterials, and the development and application of nanomechanical characterization methods.
