My primary research focus is on asset and maintenance management, with a specialized emphasis on the tribology of machines. Additionally, I am actively engaged in research related to alternative fuels. Over the years, I have led numerous sponsored and consulting projects focused on failure analysis and tribological studies of engineering assets. Within industrial research, I have developed a keen interest in oil analysis and lubricant performance, exploring their implications for asset reliability and performance optimization. I possess a good understanding of the ISO 55000 suite of Asset Management standards and have hands-on experience supervising industry-based real-life projects.
