Research summary

Wolfgang Windl's research uses computational modeling—including atomistic simulations, ab initio (first-principles) calculations, and Bayesian statistical methods—to understand materials behavior at the atomic scale. A major focus is atom probe tomography, a technique for analyzing materials atom-by-atom, and how physical processes like field evaporation affect its accuracy, alongside work on semiconductor materials, alloys, and interatomic potential development.
