معرفی
Dr Amir Kadiric is a Reader in Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London's Faculty of Engineering, leading the SKF University Technology Centre for Tribology. He holds a MEng (Mechanical Engineering) and PhD (Tribology) from Imperial College (2005). Previously, he worked at SKF's Engineering and Research Centre in the Netherlands, focusing on rolling bearing research.
- Education: MEng in Mechanical Engineering (Imperial College), PhD in Tribology (Imperial College, 2005)
His research emphasizes damage mechanisms in machine elements—such as rolling contact fatigue (micropitting, pitting), scuffing, and fretting—as well as reliability/efficiency of electric vehicle transmissions and condition monitoring of tribological systems. He collaborates with industries to advance applications in wind turbines, geared turbofan engines, and EV drivetrains.
His work integrates experimental and computational methods, including novel techniques for in-situ lubricant film measurement and tribofilm analysis. He leads the Imperial-Industry collaboration through the SKF UTC for Tribology, advancing fundamental and applied tribology research.
Dr Kadiric’s lab focuses on surface coatings, lubricant formulation, and advanced material characterization to mitigate failure modes in dynamic mechanical systems. His contributions bridge academic and industrial challenges in sustainable energy systems and high-performance engineering components.
