<Research Topics>
The keyword in our laboratory is tribology, which is defined as “the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion and of related subjects and practices.” Tribology is an engineering field that deals with friction, wear, and lubrication. It covers all phenomena that occur on frictional surfaces and is related closely to many academic fields, including mechanical engineering, physics, chemistry, materials science, mathematics and biology.
The research topics in our group are listed as follows,
Development of smart tribosystem with ultralow friction
Tribotronics for next generation electric vehicles
Tribochemistry, especially tribochemical stability of lubricants
Optimization design in tribofilm
Development of intelligent tribosensing system using machine learning
We welcome applicant for joint research and postgraduate.
