Christian Cyron is Director of the Institute for Material System Modeling at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon. He conducts research at the interface between AI and computer simulation in engineering sciences, particularly in materials research and medicine.
For example, Cyron is developing a novel AI method for magnetic resonance imaging. This method is intended to provide comprehensive information about the mechanical properties and microstructure of biological tissues in a non-invasive manner.
As one of three spokespersons for the BlueMat Cluster of Excellence, Cyron is also a driving force behind the development of so-called „blue materials,“ a completely new class of materials that harness the diverse properties of water and thus eliminate the need for rare or harmful resources. These materials are of interest, for example, for energy production or for use in architecture. The engineer also uses machine learning to research these innovative materials.
In addition to his work for Hereon, Cyron is also a professor at the Technical University of Hamburg. He studied mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Munich, where he also earned his doctorate. After positions at the École Polytechnique in Paris and Yale University, he has been conducting research at Hereon since 2018.
