Prof. Lukasz Wojciechowski

Łukasz Wojciechowski earned his Master’s, PhD, and DSc from the Department of Machines and Transportation at Poznan University of Technology, where he is now a Professor in the Institute of Machines and Motor Vehicles. A member of the Polish Tribology Society since 2005, his research interests include tribology and surface engineering. Recently, he has focused on (1) designing and testing nano lubricants for "superlubricity" (friction coefficient below 0.01) using hybrid lubricants made of ionic liquids and tribo-active nanocarbon materials; (2) creating biocomposites for tribological applications from food waste, such as polypropylene composites with ground cherry pits; (3) investigating friction and wear in the rail/wheel system of rail vehicles; (4) studying surface degradation in construction materials (scuffing) and developing treatments to enhance resistance. He completed research internships at the Laboratoire de Tribologie et Dynamique des Systèmes in France (2015, 2016), and collaborates with the School of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Leeds (UK) and the NanoCarbon Group at the Silesian University of Technology (Poland). He is the author of several dozen scientific articles and expert opinions for the industry and a reviewer in tribological journals, including Tribology International, Tribology Letters, Lubricants, Tribology Transactions, Industrial Lubrication and Tribology, etc.
