MIMESIS

Project details: Mathematics and Materials Science for Steel Production and Manufacturing

Project duration: 2016-2020

Contact person: Ville-Valtteri Visuri

Background: MIMESIS is a European Industrial Doctorate (EID) project in the programme Innovative Training Networks (ITN) and part of Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions within the Horizon 2020 programme.

Driven by the five partners EFD Induction in Norway; SSAB, Outokumpu, and the University of Oulu, in Finland; and Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS, Germany), eight doctoral thesis projects will be jointly carried out, providing a unique interdisciplinary and inter-sectorial training opportunity. The research is focussed on three major topics – induction heating, phase transformations in steel alloys, and gas stirring in a steelmaking ladle.
