Research Area:
A core expertise in tribology, more specifically full film lubrication is applied and strengthened in the
research area of mechatronic system design. Multiphysics modelling is studied and taught to our
students as this core expertise, full film lubrication, touches different physics areas such as
engineering mechanics and dynamics, fluid dynamics, and thermal behaviour of machines.
Key words: Viscous film traction, dynamic bearing design, dynamic thermal design, multiphysics
modelling, mechatronic system design
