About

Takeru Omiya is a researcher in Mechanical Engineering specializing in tribology, surface engineering, and advanced lubrication systems. His research focuses on the development of diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings and lubricant additives, including functionalized copolymers and ionic liquids, to improve friction reduction, wear resistance, and durability in mechanical systems. He has also worked on the optimization of coating properties using high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS).

In addition to experimental and surface analytical approaches, he applies computational methods and machine learning to understand tribological mechanisms and predict lubricant and material performance. His work spans both academic research and industrial applications, including studies on engine oil degradation prediction and sustainable lubrication technologies.

With industrial R&D experience at Shell and current experience at Dow, he aims to bridge academia and industry through practical and scientifically grounded innovation in tribology and lubrication engineering.
