My research vision is to solve real-life tribological challenges, from hip joint prosthetics to sustainable food innovation.
Versatile measurement tools used in my projects include laser-induced fluorescent labelling to study the dynamics of soft surfaces and optical tribometers enabling analysis of protein films with engineering precision.
I have worked on the mechanistic understanding of fat behaviour in plant and animal milks, work that combined molecular biology, tribology, and microscopy.
