Professor Dr. Volodymyr Bushlya

Biography

Volodymyr Bushlya is a Senior Lecturer in Production Materials Engineering at Lund University. His research interests are centered around manufacturing processes, particularly machining and tooling materials. He focuses on building key knowledge in cutting mechanics, thermal phenomena, tribology, and the chemical aspects of the machining process. Bushlya investigates fundamental factors that influence process outcomes such as efficiency, wear, degradation of tooling, and product surface quality. His work bridges materials science with process knowledge through the analysis of phenomena at atomic (using Transmission Electron Microscopy and Atom Probe Tomography), micro- (using Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-Ray Diffraction), and macro-scale levels, specifically involving products, components, and tools. He applies both micro-level thermodynamic and kinetic modeling techniques using tools like ThermoCalc and DICTRA, as well as macro-level Finite Element Method (FEM) techniques. Bushlya's expertise contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on innovative manufacturing and sustainable product development.
