Vanishing Friction and Superlubricity by Dr. Ali Erdemir (Beard Tribology Webinar)

This is the 3rd Beard Tribology Webinar given by Prof. Ali Erdemir in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University. This webinar is hosted by the Auburn University Tribology Program. For more information about the undergraduate Tribology minor and research: http://eng.auburn.edu/tribology/​ https://www.eng.auburn.edu/~jacksr7/ Dr. Ali Erdemir is Professor and Halliburton Chair in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University, but is a scientist and distinguished fellow at Argonne National Laboratory. He has authored over 300 publications which have been cited over 20,000 times. He is member of the National Academy of Engineering, previous president of the International Tribology Council and the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE). He is a fellow of STLE, ASME, AAAS, AVS and ASM. Dr. Erdemir’s work spans a wide range of material science and tribology, and is internationally recognized by numerous awards and honors. Dr. Erdemir’s research group focuses on bridging scientific principles with engineering innovations towards the development of new materials, coatings, and lubricants for a broad range of cross-cutting applications in manufacturing, transportation and other energy conversion and utilization systems where further increases in efficiency, reliability, and environmental sustainability are of primary objectives. His group specifically strives to unravel key/underlying mechanisms that control friction and wear at the most fundamental levels and develop more advanced surface layers and interface chemistries providing superlubricity and/or super high-hardness as well as extreme resistance to wear, corrosion, fatigue and other types of degradations under harsh operational and environmental conditions.
