Computational Materials and Process Design A wide range of computational techniques have been developed on different scales during the last several tens of years. During the development stage, computational research groups have been somewhat separated from experimental research groups. However, with developments of computational techniques to a level applicable to real materials and process design, close collaborations between computational and experimental groups are becoming part of everyday research life, and many success stories in computational materials and process design are being reported in a wide range of materials research field. In the present talk, a success story of computational materials and process design (development of highly value-added {100} textured steels sheet), written through a close collaboration between an experimental GIFT and a computational MSE group in POSTECH will be outlined. An on-going collaborative research to write another success story (development of Mg alloys with room-temperature formability) will also be outlined. Finally, a recently achieved, new computational technology (atomistic simulation on multicomponent metallic/covalent oxide systems) will be introduced seeking a chance for future collaborations.
