About

ABOUT ME

I'm Paraskevas Kontis, Associate Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, where I am a member of the Physical Metallurgy group. 

​

My work focuses on providing a fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationship down at the atomic level in metallic alloys, with a particular focus on high performance alloys at extreme environments, such as superalloys. For this purpose, I exploit a framework of high-end microscopy and microanalysis methods, such as atom probe tomography.

 

Understanding this relationship at the atomic level, can unlock new alloy design strategies. Primary goal is to use such atomic-scale driven design guidelines for hydrogen-resistant superalloys, aiming to make true the zero emissions dream.
