Ramin Rahmani

Ramin Rahmani is a Senior Lecturer in Tribology and Dynamics at Loughborough University, affiliated with the Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering. His academic journey includes a BSc and MSc in Mechanical Engineering, followed by a PhD in Tribology. He transitioned from a Research Associate role into his current faculty position.

His research focuses on tribology, dynamics, and mechanical systems, with emphasis on automotive components, lubrication, gear dynamics, and energy efficiency. Notable areas include the tribological performance of coatings, electrotribodynamics, and lifecycle assessments of alternative fuels in heavy-duty vehicles.

Recent publications highlight advancements in hydrogen fuel applications, lubricant behavior in extreme conditions, and NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) mitigation in electric vehicle powertrains. His work bridges theoretical modeling with experimental validation, addressing both academic and industrial challenges.

Rahmani received the Associate Editor’s Recognition (2025) for his contributions to scholarly publishing. His research group, Dynamics & Tribology, explores cutting-edge topics including surface texturing, nanolubricants, and transient elastohydrodynamic analysis.

While no specific grants or advising roles are detailed, his publications reflect a prolific engagement with interdisciplinary tribological challenges across automotive, aerospace, and renewable energy sectors.
