Combining ab‐initio and machine learning techniques for theoretical simulations of hard nitrides at extreme conditions

Abstract

This thesis is, in its entirety, dedicated to my family: My wonderful partner Kristina and our beautiful son Julian. Thank you for supporting me throughix out my struggles and keeping me motivated, I dearly love you both! I have no doubt that I'll soon be reading the chapters of this thesis as a bedtime story for Julian, as my scientific writing was previously shown to have soporific effects on toddlers.x
