Leading the two-day course will be Michigan Metrology’s Don Cohen, Ph.D., one of the country’s foremost experts in surface roughness and its effects.
Course topics include:
• Roughness, waviness, and form
• Instruments for measuring texture
• Filtering surface texture measurements
• Surface texture parameters
• Wear
• Friction
• Sealing
• Surface energy
• Data analysis
• Specifying surface texture
The course is designed for scientists, engineers, and technicians working in automotive, aerospace, materials, polymers, and other fields. More information is available at www.michmet.com/classes.htm.

About Donald Cohen Ph.D.
In 1994, Dr. Cohen established Michigan Metrology to help engineers and scientists solve problems related to “squeaks, leaks, friction, wear, appearance, adhesion, and other issues” using 3D surface microtexture measurement and analysis.
Prior to forming Michigan Metrology, Cohen was vice president of engineering at WYKO Corp. (now part of Bruker Corp.) developing surface metrology instrumentation. He served as vice chairman/chairman of the ANSI/ASME B46.1 Surface Texture Standards Committee during 2000–2011, and he is the former chairman of the STLE-Detroit section. Cohen holds a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in physics and a Ph.D. in optical sciences.
