Anbara Lutfullaeva joined SEAS in Fall 2025 as an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department. She earned her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Ohio University, where her research focused on the experimental testing of hydrodynamic thrust bearings under dynamic loading conditions. She continues this line of work at 网爆门 University, where she is developing an advanced experimental test bed capable of applying high loads and high-frequency dynamic forces to oil film bearings. Her goal is to generate robust experimental data that can also be used to train AI and machine learning models for predicting bearing performance. In addition to her work on bearings, she plans to expand into robotics and build an interdisciplinary research group, mentoring undergraduate students through hands-on, collaborative projects.
