Tiago Cousseau is a Senior Research Associate at the School of Engineering, University of Newcastle (Australia), within the College of Engineering, Science and Environment. He specializes in tribology, mechanical design, and friction-wear dynamics. Previously, he held roles at institutions like the Federal University of Technology (Brazil) and the University of São Paulo, focusing on teaching and research in tribology, mechanical design, and surface analysis.
His research spans over 13 years, emphasizing bulk materials handling, lubrication optimization, and component durability. Key projects include developing conveyor idler roll systems, assessing biodegradable lubricants, and analyzing tribological effects in engine components. He has coordinated two laboratories, supervised 15 researchers, and secured grants totaling $965k from bodies like Vale S.A. and iMOVE Australia.
Research interests include tribology applications in mechanical systems, surface engineering, and experimental tribological analysis. Over 70+ international publications (715+ citations) reflect his expertise in friction reduction, wear mechanisms, and lubricant performance evaluation.
Teaching includes graduate/undergraduate courses on mechanical design, tribology, and experimental methods. His work bridges academia and industry, addressing challenges in bulk transport, machinery efficiency, and sustainable lubrication solutions.
