The Otto-von-Guericke-University aims to bring together two intriguing fields of re-search: Knowledge-based medical imaging and reconstruction and engineering materials: processing, microstructure, simulation, prediction. In order to generate synergies in both fields, they established a joined Graduate School for Medical engineering and engineering Materials (MEMoRIAL). To further strengthen the international interconnection of these research foci, MEMoRIAL aims to educate excellent international PhD student candidates in each of the two MEMoRIAL topical modules:
