معرفی
Professor Rob Dwyer-Joyce is a leading academic in Tribology and Lubrication Engineering at the University of Sheffield, School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering. He serves as Director of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Integrated Tribology and manages the Leonardo Centre for Tribology. A Fellow of both the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, his work focuses on developing ultrasonic sensors for real-time lubrication and wear monitoring in industrial systems.
- Academic Affiliation: University of Sheffield (since 1994)
- Education: BEng Mechanical Engineering (Imperial College), PhD Tribology
- Industry Experience: Former British Gas engineer (Rough gas field)
His research interests center on industrial wear problems, lubrication metrology, and acoustic sensor development. Key applications include wind turbine bearings, marine diesel engines, and automotive systems. His team’s innovations in tribo-acoustic sensors have enabled non-invasive oil film thickness and viscosity measurements in challenging environments.
Recent scientific contributions span lithium-ion battery monitoring, wind turbine bearing dynamics, and marine engine lubrication, with over 30 publications since 2020. Awards include the EPSRC Advanced Career Fellowship in Tribo-Acoustic Sensors and recognition as a Royal Academy of Engineering Fellow. Contact: r.dwyer-joyce@sheffield.ac.uk
