About me

My research field is tribology (friction, wear and lubrication), focusing on machine elements. Currently, I am mainly studying fretting induced damage (mainly in bolted joints and complete contacts) and boundary lubrication in sliding bearings. I do wide research co-operation with industry. I am teaching machine design mainly in master level courses.
