Daniele Dini

Daniele Dini FREng FIMechE CEng is an Italian/British Mechanical Engineer. He is a Professor of Tribology at Imperial College London, where he is Head of the Tribology Group.[1] Tribology is the science and engineering of friction, lubrication and wear.

Education

Dini received an M.Eng. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Politecnico di Bari, Italy in 2000, He then studied for a D.Phil. in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, which he obtained in 2004. His D.Phil. research was performed under the supervision of Professor David Hills.[2]

Research and career

Dini has published over 250 peer-reviewed papers in the field of tribology. According to Google Scholar, his research has been cited over 6000 times and he has a h-index of 43.[3] He is an expert in the modelling and simulation of tribological systems across scales.[4] He is an Assistant Editor for the Elsevier journal International Journal of Solids and Structures[5] and is on the International Advisory Editorial Board for Tribology International.[6] He is a Co-Director of both the Shell University Technology Centre (UTC) for Fuels and Lubricants[7] and the SKF UTC,[8] which are based in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London.

Honours and awards

Dini is the recipient of a number of awards, including: the Tribology Bronze Medal award (IMechE, 2004); the Jacob Wallenberg Foundation Award (Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Science, 2007); three best paper awards: Thomas Bernard Hall Prize (IMechE, 2008 and 2010) and the K.L. Johnson Award (ASME, 2012); Teaching Excellence in Engineering Education (Imperial College London, 2014). He was the recipient of the prestigious EPSRC Established Career Fellowship, awarded in 2016.[1]

He was elected as a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (FIMechE) in 2014. He was also elected as a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng) in 2021.[9]
