Sven Bossuyt
Associate Professor, Koneenrakennuksen materiaalitekniikka
Person profile
My main interests in research and teaching are the science of engineering materials, the physics of metals, and the mechanics of materials, but I very much enjoy interdisciplinary work as well, so that is by no means an exhaustive list. Particular topics I have worked on as a full-time researcher have been to investigate the deformation behavior and processing of bulk metallic glasses, and to develop next-generation digital image correlation methods for full-field measurements of localized deformations.

Background
I am from Belgium originally, but I spent several years in the U.S.A. and in the U.K. as well, before moving back to Belgium and then settling in Finland. For my Academy of Finland Award, a short video was made presenting my story as a fairy tale about "the material boy", which I think is really nice!
