معرفی
Farshid Sadeghi is the Cummins Distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University’s School of Mechanical Engineering. His expertise spans tribology, contact mechanics, and surface engineering with a focus on rolling/sliding systems. He holds degrees from the University of Tennessee (B.S., M.S.) and North Carolina State University (Ph.D.).
Research interests include rolling contact fatigue, lubrication regimes, bearing dynamics, and advanced materials. His work integrates experimental and computational methods, such as finite element modeling and micro-PIV fluid flow analysis. Key contributions include predictive models for spall formation, fretting wear, and material microstructure effects on fatigue life.
Notable awards include ASME and STLE Fellowships, the H.L. Solberg Teaching Award, and several student poster competition medals. He directs the Mechanical Engineering Tribology Laboratory (METL), advancing innovations in lubrication, surface modification, and tribosystem design.
Publications span 40+ years, addressing topics like cage dynamics, hydrogen effects on tribology, and nanotechnology-based solid lubricants. His research bridges fundamental mechanics with industrial applications in automotive, aerospace, and energy sectors.
