Biography
Hans Fecht is chair professor (emeritus) at Ulm University, Germany, and director (emeritus) of the Institute of Functional Nanosystems. He received his PhD in 1984 from the University at Saarbrücken, Germany, and after post-doc positions at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the California Institute of Technology, USA, he became professor at the University of Augsburg, chair professor at Technical University Berlin and then Ulm. Dr Fecht has published more than 600 scientific papers and 6 books in the fields of interface science, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, nanotechnology, and space science. He has served as the European editor of a number of journals and organized several international conferences and workshops in the field. An elected fellow and member of the Max Kade Gesellschaft (New York), Dr Fecht is also a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts (Salzburg) and the European Academy of Science (Brussels). While holding several guest professorships in China, Japan, and India, he was awarded the Pioneer of Nanotechnology prize of Deutsche Bank and in 1998 the most prestigious G.W. Leibniz Award from the German Research Foundation DFG.
“This excellent compilation of Prof. Fecht’s most sought-after publications encompasses the latest developments in the fields of atomic level interpretations, thermodynamics, microstructural aspects, microgravity studies, and industrial applications of metallic materials in a single book. It extends from atomic, nano, and micro levels to meso and macro dimensions. This is an invaluable and inspirational book and a great contribution by an eminent scientist to the field of materials science and engineering.”
