Thomas Lohner is Head of Division EHL-Tribological-Contact and Efficiency at the Gear Research Center (FZG) of Technical University of Munich (TUM). His research focuses on the tribology of gears and the efficiency and heat balance of geared transmissions, using of multi-scale modeling and experimental methods. He deals with gearbox fluid and heat flow, elastohydrodynamics of gear contacts, superlubricity with aqueous lubricants, oil-lubricated thermoplastics, minimum quantity lubrication, tribological coatings, loss of lubrication and superefficiency.
