Gary Nicholas wins this year's Bronze Medal from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Gary is considered to be a “creative researcher and scientist with a very strong understanding of physical principles” and with the ability “to adapt and apply them to tribological problems”. He has enjoyed a very successful academic career to date. He has received the EDF-PPRIME Workshop Best Poster Award and been recognised for outstanding academic achievements at the academic institutions where he has studied.
Gary is already a hugely accomplished young tribologist who has published the results of his studies in both peer-reviewed journals and at international conferences. He is an extremely worthy recipient of the 2020 Tribology Bronze Medal.
