The University of Leeds (UoL)’s team working on the EPSRC funded project, entitled “Tribology as Enabling Technology (TRENT)”, led by Prof. Ardian Morina, visited NTNU. PhD Students and Postdoctoral Scholars from both sides interacted with each other. The two teams exchanged the key information about progress that has been made so far. Prof. Morina briefed the participants about the overall progress and current state of the project. The NTNU team led by Prof. Zhiliang Zhang, briefed the team members about the current activities in their research group. Associate Professor Senbo Xiao enlightened the team on the progress made in the area of molecular modelling related to TRENT. In consultation with Prof. Jianyang He, new areas of collaboration were identified for which various actions and milestones were identified.
The team had a brief tour of the campus and various relevant laboratories. As the Principal Investigator of the project Prof. Morina thanked the NTNU team for hosting, their continued support and contribution to the TRENT project.
