Our research in Triboinformatics, both at UWM and at ITMO, has covered two main directions:

1. Using machine-learing methods to establish correlations between tribological properties (friction and wear) and composition of composite materials.

2. Exploring new methods of surface roughness analysis such as the Data Topology methods:
