Personal profile
Research interests
I explore the tribology of engineering components, developing surface-engineered solutions that minimize material wear, enhance performance, and extend component life, all with a focus on sustainable, real-world applications. I aim to bridge the gap between fundamental materials science and practical engineering challenges, turning insights into surfaces that perform better and last longer.
