Marc MasenDr Marc Masen is Reader in Tribology and Mechanical Engineering Design in the
Department of Mechanical Engineering, Imperial College London. He is the Academic
Lead in Mechanical Engineering Design. His expertise includes the response of materils to
mechanical contact and interaction, with a special focus on materials showing non
linear and complex behaviour; such as polymers, elastomers, greases, and biological
tissue. He designs, builds, and adapts advanced tribometers to gain new insights into
the behaviour of these materials. Within the Tribology research group, he collaborates
closely with a range of companies, including SMEs and multinationals such as L'Oréal,
Shell and SKF. He is the co-editor of the journal Biotribology and sits on the editorial
board of Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part J - Journal of
Engineering Tribology. He teaches on a range of modules, including Mechanical
Transmissions, focusing on machine elements such as shafts, gears, bearings and
couplings. Read More Read Less
