About
Jan Schroers is a leading figure in the science and engineering of metallic glasses, with a career defined by transformative advances in their processing and application. His research spans the fundamental understanding of bulk metallic glass-forming liquids to the development of novel fabrication techniques, most notably thermoplastic forming. Schroers pioneered methods to shape these materials with nanoscale precision, akin to plastics, unlocking their potential for micro- and nano-devices. His work on "Static-state particle fabrication via rapid vitrification of a thixotropic medium" (2021, 15 citations) exemplifies his drive to solve real-world manufacturing challenges, enabling the scalable production of functional particles with controlled shapes and directional properties—a critical step for applications in sensors and micro-robotics. With over 20,000 citations, his contributions have reshaped the field, earning him recognition as a highly cited researcher and a pioneer in metallic glass technology. Schroers’ achievements include developing the first bulk metallic glass with record-breaking glass-forming ability, and his work continues to inspire new generations of materials scientists.
