Dr Ali Ghanbarzadeh

Research interests

Ali is currently active in the field of tribology especially tribochemistry/Tribocorrosion. He is involved with both experimental and analytical studies of tribochemistry and tribocorrosion(e.g tribofilm formation and removal) and their effects on wear of the boundary and mixed lubricated systems.

He has the experience of developing contact mechanics models for rough surfaces and adhesion. Ali is active in the areas of Biotribology, Automotive and lubricant additives. He is willing to supervise students with interests in computational and mathematical modelling in tribology and surface engineering.

Research interests:

• Wear modelling
• Friction modelling
• Contact mechanics
• Tribochemistry
• Tribocorrosion
• Corrosion
• Boundary lubrication
