The Z-INF project plays an essential role in ensuring the sustainability and accessibility of the research data produced within the framework of this CRC/TRR, which is hosted at Technical University of Darmstadt and the University of Duisburg-Essen. This project provides interfaces to facilitate the provision and search for the partly heterogeneous data within the CRC/TRR. You will act as an expert, consultant and teacher in the field of research data management. The handling, processing and storage of the data will be carried out from the beginning of the project with a view to further use in the context of analytical machine learning techniques and will be implemented in more detail in later funding periods. The vision is to explore the relationships between material processing, structure and magnetic properties based on the data obtained by the consortium and to develop a virtual counterpart that allows predictions for previously unrealized magnetic materials and structures.
