I am a PHD-student at Luleå University of technology -machine element-.

I am originally from south Germany and work now within a project called TriboAct. After my undergraduate study in Germany (Dipl.-Ing.) and one year as a student in Gävle, I started as a PhD-student here at LTU in august 2011.

I like sport (running, floorball, cross-country skiing, football...) - simply more or less every kind of sport.

The Project deals with controlling and monitoring methods for rolling-tribological contacts (like Rolling bearings or hydraulic engines). The research should lead to a better saturation of the lifetime of these contacts and thereby minimizing the service costs for industry and environment impact due to the best possible saturation of components.

Goals:

• Methods for measuring the remaining useful live
• Methods for controlling rolling tribological contacts

Partner:

• Hägglunds drives AB
• LKAB
• SKF - CMC
