Background

About Dharmender Jangra

My doctoral studies have already equipped me with expertise in numerical simulation, mechanical system failure analysis, wear debris and lubricant-based condition monitoring, and the impact of nanoparticle additives on lubricant tribological properties, with a focus on machine element condition monitoring. However, I recognize the need to further understand the gear system: energy efficient gear design (design for pure rolling so that minimum sliding and wear loss) for high and low-speed gears and lubricant additive: nanoparticle synthesis techniques, chemistry, and property design for tribological applications. I aspire to establish a feedback-driven gear train design to minimize wear loss. Further, I aim to establish a chemistry-driven nanoparticle design framework, elucidating how customized nanoparticles influence interface mechanics with significant environmental benefits, including reduced waste disposal. I firmly believe that this program will provide me with the necessary skills and knowledge to achieve this goal. Additionally, this opportunity will enhance my abilities in grant management, a vital skill for academic leadership. This training-through-research approach will augment my proficiency in developing a chemistry-driven nanoparticle design framework, thus enriching my professional development and the field of tribology, surface modification, and mechanical properties of materials. In the long term, it strategically advances my career in transmission-box design, nanomaterials research, surface modification, and lubrication, strengthening my academic standing and aiding in securing future research grants. Overall, throughout my doctoral research, I emphasized the significance of "identifying the right problem,""efficient resource utilization,""choosing the appropriate tools and techniques," and achieving a "scientific comprehension of the necessary technical performance."
