Research project

Measuring predictors of drag penalty of ship-fouling biofilms

Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups

national Centre for Advanced Tribology at Southampton (nCATS)

We specialise in tribology which is the science of friction, wear and lubrication of surfaces that come in to contact in motion.
