Research Plan

My research is focussed on the following topics:

• Surface characterization of textured sliders
  • Using the AFM to measure the roughness of the textured sliders.
  • Using the CSS tester to measure the stiction for textured sliders.
• Checking the applicability of Laser Texturing, to texture the sliders.
• Mobility study for X1P lubricant using the SRA.
• Use of the Nanoindenter as a wear tester.
