- Powder production - Sintering - Hard materials, e.g. cemented carbide - Joining techniques, such as soldering/brazing and gluing - Analytics such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), light microscopy, thermal Analysis (DSC, DTA) - Project processing

- Production of hard materials in the Ti-Al-N system with the SPS/Fast method - Characterization of the samples with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) - Supervision of diploma theses - Lectures and exercises

- Microstructure analysis with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron diffraction (SEM and TEM) - physical metallurgy to describe the material when deformed or heated - Thermodynamics (CALPHAD method) to predict the composition of materials
