Who we are A group of experts and consultants in tribology, testing and instrumentation was brought together by Dr. Ksenija Topolovec Miklozic. Ksenija has longterm experience in tribology, at university as well as in the industry. Her background is that of a PhD and research in the Tribology Group at Imperial College London, where her focus was on lubricant additives, boundary lubrication and nanotribology. Her industrial experience includes lubricants, additives, friction, wear and rolling contact fatigue. She has well established contacts in the industry and experience with OEM lubricant specifications and test requirements. Publications
