We specialise in tribology which is the science of friction, wear and lubrication of surfaces that come in to contact in motion.
We are a multidisciplinary tribology centre. We research next-generation tribological design issues and enable surface interactions to occur with minimal energy loss and impact on the environment. We focus on solutions to real-life engineering problems, including the challenge of efficient renewable energy systems.
Combining tribology with sensing technologies provides intelligence and produces smarter engineering systems.
