Adrian Sutton
In this episode, I'm joined by Prof. Adrian Sutton, Emeritus Professor of Physics at Imperial College London in the UK. Adrian's research in understanding the interplay between processes at the atomic scale and the microstructural behaviour of real material systems has played a critical role in the establishment of the research field of computational materials science. We had an extensive discussion about his many contributions in materials development, his insights into university education and the funding of academic research, and his upcoming book which aims at explaining materials science to a younger audience.<br /><br />The textbooks mentioned during the podcast are available under the following links:<br /><br />Physics of Elasticity and Crystal Defects: <a href="https://global.oup.com/academic/product/physics-of-elasticity-and-crystal-defects-9780198860785?cc=de&lang=en&" rel="noopener">https://global.oup.com/academic/product/physics-of-elasticity-and-crystal-defects-9780198860785?cc=de&lang=en&</a><br /><br />Rethinking the PhD:<br /><a href="https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Adrian-P-Sutton/dp/B083XX3LZV" rel="noopener">https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Adrian-P-Sutton/dp/B083XX3LZV</a><br /><br />Interfaces in Crystalline Materials (with Robert Balluffi):<br /><a href="https://www.amazon.de/Interfaces-Crystalline-Materials-Monographs-Chemistry/dp/0198500610" rel="noopener">https://www.amazon.de/Interfaces-Crystalline-Materials-Monographs-Chemistry/dp/0198500610</a><br /><br />Electronic Structure of Materials:<br /><a href="https://www.amazon.de/Electronic-Structure-Materials-Science-Publications/dp/0198517548" rel="noopener">https://www.amazon.de/Electronic-Structure-Materials-Science-Publications/dp/0198517548</a>

Mental Health
In this episode, I'm joined by Dr Anna Frank and Dr Christoph Freysoldt. In contrast to our usual emphasis on scientific research, we discussed the very important issue of role of mental health and job-related stress, and took the opportunity to discuss many of the challenges and issues that researchers may come across at different periods of their careers.<br /><br />For employees of the Max Planck Society, the following links may be of help to those suffering from stress and/or mental health issues:<br /><br />The Mental Health Collective of the MPG:<br /><a href="https://twitter.com/mpg_mhc" rel="noopener">https://twitter.com/mpg_mhc</a><br /><br />PhD Net page for mental health awareness activities:<br /><a href="https://www.phdnet.mpg.de/events-and-activities/mental-health" rel="noopener">https://www.phdnet.mpg.de/events-and-activities/mental-health</a>

Paraskevas Kontis & Jaber Mianroodi
In this two-for-one episode, I'm chatting with two new group leaders in the Department of Microstructure Physics and Alloy Design; Dr Paravskevas Kontis, group leader in High Performance Alloys for Extreme Environments, and Dr Jaber Mianroodi, group leader in Computational Sustainable Metallurgy. We chatted about the challenges of being a new group leader, how to delegate responsibility to group members, and the development of materials to improve resource sustainability.
