Thermo-Calc at WISE Dialogue: From Data to Discovery
“Over the past few decades, computational modeling has gained widespread recognition in both academia and industry as an effective tool for accelerating materials design and deepening our understanding of materials behavior” says Carl-Magnus Lancelot, Technical Sales and Support Engineer at Thermo-Calc Software, responsible for customers in the UK and the Nordics.
The WISE Dialogue 2026 will gather leading voices in sustainability and materials science for two inspiring days. Held in Uppsala on 17–18 March, the event will showcase innovation, cutting-edge research and future-focused dialogue. Among the featured speakers is Carl-Magnus Lancelot from Thermo-Calc Software AB, presenting in the “Theory and Modeling” block on day two.
Thermo-Calc Software AB is a global leader in software tools and databases for Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME). In his talk, Carl-Magnus will explore how ICME leverages the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) method to model thermodynamic properties and phase behavior of materials. This approach provides deep insights into material stability across varying conditions and environments. He will present how Thermo-Calc’s thermodynamic platform enables advanced modeling and simulation workflows that convert complex data into actionable materials insights.
Last year, Thermo-Calc Software partnered with KTH Royal Institute of Technology through the WISE IP2 call and was awarded the project “Addressing Critical Raw Materials Challenges in Energy Storage Systems: Computational Materials Design Tools” (ACCESS). This postdoctoral project aims to advance the replacement of critical raw materials in lithium-ion batteries and to develop computational tools that help the battery industry significantly accelerate the materials discovery process.
— Replacing these critical materials with sustainable alternatives is a complex, multifaceted challenge. That is why computational tools are needed to facilitate product development processes, says Bartek Kaplan, Department Head, External Research Coordinator and WISE industrial PI of ACCESS.
Traditionally, material discovery in the battery industry has relied on labor-intensive, costly, and time-consuming experimental work. However, this paradigm is rapidly changing.
— Over the past few decades, computational modeling has gained widespread recognition in both academia and industry as an effective tool for accelerating materials design and deepening our understanding of materials behavior, adds Carl-Magnus Lancelot, Technical Sales and Support Engineer at Thermo-Calc Software, responsible for customers in the UK and the Nordics.
WISE Dialogue 2026 brings together researchers, industry leaders, innovators and decision-makers to accelerate the transition to sustainable materials. Do not miss the chance to be part of it!
