Professor Jörg Neugebauer, director at the Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials (MPI-SusMat), has been awarded the ISMM Distinguished Career Achievement Award in Materials Modelling. This prize, presented by the International Society for Materials Modelling (ISMM), recognizes his lifelong contributions to advancing the field of materials simulation. Neugebauer, who has headed the Department of Computational Materials Design at MPI-SusMat for nearly 20 years, received the award during the Multiscale Materials Modelling conference in Prague on September 26, 2024.

"I am deeply honoured to receive this prestigious award, which reflects not only my work but also the dedicated efforts of my team over the years. It’s a recognition of how far materials modelling has come and how essential it is to the future of materials science," says Neugebauer. The award jury highlighted Neugebauer's pioneering research in first-principles-based multiscale materials design, which has enabled highly accurate and efficient predictions of the properties and behaviour of real-world materials. His work, particularly in parameter-free thermodynamics and kinetics, has advanced the understanding of the structure-property relationships of metals and alloys. At MPI-SusMat, Neugebauer’s department spans a wide range of activities, from designing materials for structural and energy applications to interpreting microscopy data with machine learning and large language models, to developing pyiron, an integrated development environment for computational materials science.
