Dr Marc Masen is a Reader in Tribology and Mechanical Engineering Design at Imperial College London. He leads research in Biotribology and Sustainable Tribology, investigating how materials respond to mechanical contact in biological systems and developing methods to reduce friction, wear, and environmental impact in engineering applications. In 2022 he was awarded the Institution of Mechanical Engineers' Donald Julius Groen Prize for his contributions to Human Tribology. Alongside his research, he is a committed educator and recipient of three Imperial College President's Awards, for Excellence in Education (2022), Societal Engagement (2023), and Excellence in Research (2024) and he co-authored the third edition of the Mechanical Design Engineering Handbook (Butterworth-Heinemann, 2024).
