From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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]
