Robert W. Carpick is a John Henry Towne Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on nanotribology, nanomechanics, surface science, scanning probe microscopy, and nanomanufacturing. Carpick's work explores the fundamental mechanisms of friction, adhesion, and wear at the nanoscale, utilizing advanced techniques such as atomic force microscopy. His studies investigate the behavior of materials under extreme conditions, including the role of interfacial interactions in tribological phenomena. By combining experimental and theoretical approaches, Carpick contributes to the understanding of nanoscale friction and its implications for nanotechnology and materials science.
