Forskning

Jag blev antagen som doktorand i början på 2009 på Luleå Tekniska Universitet på avdelningen för maskinelement. Jag försvarade min avhandling  Friction in Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication i oktober 2014. Sedan dess har jag varit anställd på avdelningen som Postdoktor, Universitetslektor och numera biträdande professor för att utföra forskning och undervisning.

Syftet med min forskning är att få ökad insikt i de friktionsmekanismer som uppstår i smorda kontakter och därmed kunna stödja utvecklingen av nya miljövänliga smörjmedel och maskinkomponenter med högre verkningsgrad. Min forskning omfattar även ytbeläggningar för ökad verkningsgrad av maskinkomponenter. Nyligen har vi visat att man kan uppnå mycket låg friktion, under 0.01 i elastohydrodynamisk smörjning genom att kombinera diamantliknande (DLC) ytbeläggningar med det förnybara smörjmedlet glycerol.

Sedan 2011 har jag publicerat 30 vetenskapliga artiklar, 24 konferensbidrag och har ett H-Index på 15 i Google Scholar. En komplett förteckning på mina vetenskapliga artiklar finns längst ned på sidan.

Jag är för närvarande associate editor för tidskriften  Proceedings of the IMechE Part J – Journal of Engineering Tribology och har varit gästeditor för Lubricants med en specialupplaga inom Elastohydrodynamic (EHD) Lubrication.

I filmen nedan pratar jag om Tribologi, min forskning, och hur vi tar hjälp av inspiration från naturen i forskningen.
