Professor Andreas Almqvist leads the branch of research devoted to Computational Tribology at the Division of Machine Elements, Luleå University of Technology (LTU). He is currently the principal investigator of the 4-year project "Multiscale topological optimisation for lower friction, less wear and leakage" financed by the Swedish Research Council, and he is also the principal investigator of two other 4-year projects on the modeling and simulation of tribological processes, and a handful of short-term projects devoted to the same topics. Professor Almqvist has published more than a hundred peer-reviewed journal and conference papers, and he has received several best-paper and academic awards. A few years ago, he was guest editor of a Special Issue entitled “Multiphysics and multiscale models of tribology” for the MDPI journal Lubricants. Professor Almqvist is also the editor-in-chief for Proceedings of the IMechE, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology.
