Python Tool for Visualisation and Analysis of Material Properties
Topic Overview:
Macroscopic properties of condensed matter like phase stability and mechanical or magentic properties are determined by a type of chemical interactions between atoms. These interactions can be theoretically studied with help of quantum-mechanical calculations. Nowadays, available computer resources allow to obtain large amount of data about different types of materials including existing or hypothetical intermetallic compounds. Given the fast-increasing availability of such data, tools for their analysis and visualization are more important than ever to reveal the relationsship between interatomic interactions and macroscopic properties of materials.
Task:
Write a small program for visualisation and analysis of material data.
Requirements:
General knowledge in materials physics or chemistry, crystalography, materials engineering and related fields at Bachelor degree level, knowledge of linux OS, programing skill in Python.
Outcomes:
Working program writen in Python.

Data Mining Analysis on Interatomic Interactions in Intermetalics
Topic Overview:
The cold gas dynmaic spray (CGDS) is relatively new technoogy .belongs to the thermal spraying family. The advantage of CGDS is the formation of spray without melting particles. The whole deposition process therefore takes place in a solid state. The technology is suitable for additive production of parts. However, to create complex components, it is necessary to know and predict the spray layer geometry. The topic of the work will be research and development of the geometry model of individual layers and the influence of CGDS technology parameters.
Task:
Write an impacted article about the topic.
Requirements:
General knowledge in material physics or chemistry.
Outcomes:
Working program.

Decision Making and Software Tools for Logistics and Supply Chain Management
Topic Overview:
The current business environment is characterized by a gradual transition or change from individual forms of organization to common forms of network functioning of firms. This transformation affects all areas of the company as well as all business processes. This makes the management and decision-making processes of any enterprise a much more complex and demanding discipline. The assignment of the project is oriented towards the identification of potential topics and trends in the field of software decision support against the background of dynamically growing possibilities of using various software tools (e.g. dynamic and process simulation, etc.) or technological possibilities (e.g. robotics and robotic process automation etc.) or management approaches (e.g. process and data analytics, etc.) in the field of logistics and supply chain management.
Tasks:
Research of existing literature, analysis of software tools for modelling, simulation and automation of decision-making processes and their application to logistics and supply chain management in different contexts and industries (i.e. literature review, concept analysis, definition of main areas for future research, case study or illustration of best practices, methodology design, etc.).
Requirements:
Office 365/MS Office is required. Basics of business processes undestanding is welcome.
Outcomes:
Literature Review. Case study.
Notes:
An interdisciplinary theme.
