Professor in Materials Science at the Ångström Laboratory,
Uppsala, Sweden.
Professor Jacobson's primary field of research is
tribology, with focus on the micro-mechanisms of friction and wear
of materials. Projects involve microstructured diamond surfaces
with extreme tribological properties, materials for rock drilling,
and materials and thin coatings for extreme tribological
applications. A major part of his research has been on the
formulation of models. He has co-authored an extensively used
textbook on Tribology with Sture Hogmark.
Professor Jacobson has been a member of the CEI-Europe Faculty
since 2002.
