Jānis Lungevičs was born in 1990 in Madona. He holds a Bachelor’s degree and an engineering qualification in mechatronics from Riga Technical University (RTU) (2014) and an Academic Master’s degree in Manufacturing Technology (2016). Since 2014, he has been a research assistant at the Institute of Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering of RTU, where he is currently a researcher and lecturer in the field of mechanical engineering and mechanics (measuring instruments and metrology). He has participated in several national and European scientific projects related to the tribological properties of surfaces. He is the Head of the Geometric Metrology Laboratory and participates in the content development of several study course lectures. He actively promotes cooperation between RTU and the industry.
