About me
I work as an Assistant Professor in machine design, and my research field is tribology (friction, wear and lubrication), focusing on machine elements. Currently, my group is studying fretting fatigue and wear (mainly in bolted joints and other contacts), but also sliding bearings and gears. I do wide research collaboration with industry. I teach machine design in master level courses.
