Prof. Mihai Arghir
Mihai is a Professor at the University of Poitiers since 2005 and is currently Director of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Complex Systems at the PPRIME Institute of the CNRS.
His research is focused on high speed lubrication problems for applications related to journal bearings and dynamic seals operating most often with gases or cryogenic fluids. The integration of bearings and seals into the dynamics of rotating machines is also the subject of developments. The research carried out is both experimental and theoretical, often calling on non-linear and multiphysical modelling.
