As the Ingram Tribology Launch Event is nearing we have just received confirmations of two more fantastic speakers joining us from the USA. Prof. Gregory Sawyer will be speaking on “Biology and Tribology: How Nature Uses Fragile Interfaces” and Dr. Angela Pitenis will be giving a talk entitled “Aqueous Lubrication”. Greg and Angela join an already very impressive bill of speakers from across the Tribology and lubrication industry.
