Ashlie Martini
Ashlie Martini is a tribologist and professor of mechanical engineering[1][2][3] at University of California, Merced.[4]
Biography[edit]
Education[edit]
Martini received her Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering in 1998 from Northwestern University,[5] in Evanston, Illinois. She later completed her Doctor of Philosophy in the same field, at the same school, in 2007.[4]
Career[edit]
She was an assistant professor[6] at Purdue University[7] in West Lafayette, Indiana before becoming a full professor at University of California, Merced.
Research[edit]
The topics of study at "Martini Research Group: Fundamental Tribology Lab" at UC Merced include:[4]
- Solid and liquid lubricants
- Tribochemistry
- Nanoscale contact and sliding[8]
Martini's lab helps test dry lubricants for the Mars rover.[9] "The Martini research group is performing some very critical and important data gathering for us and presenting that data in a way that helps us make critical, mission-sensitive decisions for Mars," said Duval Johnson of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.[10][11]
Awards and honors[edit]
- American Society of Mechanical Engineers - ASME Burt L. Newkirk Award (2012)[12]
- Air Force Office of Scientific Research - AFOSR Young Investigator Award[13]
