B. Bhushan

B. Bhushan received an M.S. degree in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mass, USA in 1971, an M.S. degree in mechanics and a Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder, Colo, USA in 1973 and 1976, respectively, an M.B.A. degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, NY in 1980, Doctor Technicae from the University of Trondheim at Trondheim, Norway in 1990, a Doctor of Technical Sciences from the Warsaw University of Technology at Warsaw, Poland in 1996, and Doctor Honouris Causa from the National Academy of Sciences at Gomel, Belarus in 2000. He is a registered professional engineer (mechanical). He is presently an Ohio Eminent Scholar and The Howard D. Winbigler Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Graduate Research Faculty Advisor at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and the Director of the Nanotribology Laboratory for Information Storage & MEMS/NEMS (NLIM) at the Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA. He is an internationally recognized expert of tribology and mechanics on the macro- to nanoscales and is one of the most prolific authors. He is considered by some a pioneer of the tribology and mechanics of magnetic storage devices and a leading researcher in the fields of nanotribology and nanomechanics using scanning probe microscopy and applications to micro/nanotechnology. He has authored 5 technical books, more than 70 handbook chapters, more than 600 technical papers in referred journals, and more than 60 technical reports, edited more than 40 books, and holds 16 U.S. and foreign patents. He is the Coeditor of Springer NanoScience and Technology Series and Coeditor of Microsystem Technologies- Micro- & Nanosystems and Information Storage & Processing Systems (formerly called Journal of Information Storage and Processing Systems). He has given more than 400 invited presentations on five continents and more than 140 keynote/plenary addresses at major international conferences.
