Profile: I am a Lecturer in Sustainable Transport in the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering.

I am a member of the Leonardo Centre for Tribology at the university and prior to this, I was a Senior Research Fellow in the Institute of Functional Surfaces at the University of Leeds and a Research Engineer at the University of ��«Ӱҵ AMRC.

I hold a PhD in Tribology from the University of Leeds and I am a Chartered Engineer with the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining. My research focuses on understanding how the tribochemical interactions between lubricant additives and a surface affects the friction and wear behaviour of components and most recently this has involved understanding the effects of electrification on lubricant performance and formation mechanisms.

Research interests

My research focuses on the broader areas of tribology, surface engineering and lubrication and predominantly on automotive, aerospace and machining applications.

Research interests:

Tribology and tribochemistry of advanced materials and lubricants
Sustainable lubricant additives
Effects of electrification on tribochemical interactions
Alternative cutting fluid technology
Advanced coatings for component durability
Effects of coatings and lubricants on hydrogen embrittlement
