Dr Daniele Dini has been elected a Fellow of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers

The Institute of Mechanical Engineers has elected Dr Dini to their Felowship in recognition of his contributions to engineering and of his work as Chair of the IMechE Tribology Group and Vice-Chair of the IMechE Structural Technology & Materials Group

Dr. Dini is a Reader in Tribology in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Deputy Director of Research. His research interests lie in the application of advanced modelling strategies to tribology and structural integrity. His current research focus is three-fold: (i) research on fundamental and theoretical aspects of molecular dynamics, fluid and solid mechanics, and biomechanics, (ii) development of numerical tools and software for the solution of advanced tribological, biomechanical and structural problems, and (iii) development of multi-physics solvers and multi-scale coupling strategies.
