**Ulrich Prahl**

Ulrich Prahl is a full Professor at Institute of Metal Forming, Techniche Universitat Bergakademie ¨ Freiberg. He is an established scientist in ICME—and has developed numerical material and process modeling for metallic materials, production processes (forming and heat treatment) for modern steels, development of alloy concepts and process technologies for the nanostructuring of structures as well as for the adjustment of metastable micro-structural phases. He has extensive experience in a combination of experimental laboratory techniques with numerical simulations to model, evaluate and optimize industrial forming and heat treatment processes.
