Hugh Alexander Spikes FREng FIMechE CEng is a British mechanical engineer. As of 2020 he is emeritus professor of tribology at Imperial College London.[3] He is the former head of the Tribology Group at Imperial College. Tribology is the science and engineering of friction, lubrication and wear.
Early life and education[]
Spikes was born in 1945.[4] He studied the Natural Sciences Tripos at the University of Cambridge, graduating in 1968.[5] He obtained his Doctor of Philosophy for research in tribology from Imperial College London in 1972.[6] His PhD research was performed under the supervision of Professor Alastair Cameron.[6]
Research and career[]
Spikes has published over 300 peer-reviewed papers and patents in the field of tribology, spanning many aspects of liquid lubricant behaviour ranging from boundary to hydrodynamic lubrication.[3] Another focus of his research has been lubricant additives, particularly antiwear additives[7] and friction modifiers.[8] As of June 2021, Spikes' work had been cited on more than 17,000 occasions and he had a h-index of 73 and an i10-index of 263 (Google Scholar).[1] He is a member of the Distinguished Advisory Board for the International Tribology Council.[9] He is Editor Emeritus for the Wiley journal Lubrication Science.[10]
Honours and awards[]
In 2004, Spikes was awarded the three major medals that are bestowed internationally for contributions to tribology, the International Award of the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE),[11] the Mayo D. Hersey Award of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME),[12] and the Tribology Trust Gold Medal of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).[13] With his research students, he has also received ten best paper awards, from the STLE, the ASME and the IMechE.
In 2012, he was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng).[14] He is also a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (FIMechE), a Chartered Engineer (CEng) and a Fellow of the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers.[15]
