Professor Timothy Kamps

Timothy Kamps is a Tribologist in the Advanced Engineering Materials group at NPL. He is experienced in the design and analysis of laboratory experiments that quantify the friction and wear of lubricated interfaces. Timothy received his MEng & PhD degrees from Southampton University. He received the Institute of Physics prize for Innovation in Tribology in 2017 and Tribology Trust Bronze Medal in 2015. Timothy is currently developing in situ contact and non-contact topography measurement technologies for both unidirectional and reciprocating tribometers. This capability provides high value tribology testing by reducing both the number and duration of tests required to investigate friction and wear phenomena.
