Education
editSkrotzki received her diploma in Mechanical Engineering (specialization in Materials Science) at the Ruhr University Bochum in 1987.[2] From 1993 to 1995, she was a research associate in the Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Virginia.[2] In 1992, she finished her doctorate on Temperatures and Course of Martensitic Transformation in Iron Alloys.[2] From 1995 to 2003, she was the head of the Light Metals group at the Institute for Materials at the Ruhr University Bochum.[2] From 1998 to 2003, she was also the chief engineer at the Institute of Materials at the Ruhr University Bochum.[2] In 2000, she completed her habilitation on Mechanical Loading of Light Alloys at Elevated Temperature.[2] In 2003, she became head of the division "Experimental and Model Based Mechanical Behaviour of Materials" at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing.[2] In 2011, she also became an extraordinary professor at Technische Universität Berlin.[2]
Research
editShe is a specialist in High-Temperature Materials.[2]
Her research focuses on the following topics:[2]
- Mechanical Behaviour of metals and composites at high temperature and under complex loading
- Relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties
- Microstructural stability
