Research methods:

Phase transformations: Both thermo-dynamical stable and meta-stable equilibrium transformations are of current interest.
Characterization of the metal/ceramics phase interface. In particular the metal/ oxide interface is intensely studied.
Thermal stability and inner interface reactions in nano-crystalline materials. A special emphasis is placed on the influence of the aging or service temperature on the kinetics and thermo-dynamical transformations. These transformations result in consequence of the increasing mobility of the different species of the nano-scaled material even at unexpected lower temperatures.
