Education
editWang studied mechanical engineering at the Xi'an University of Technology, graduating in 1982. She went to Northern Illinois University for graduate study in mechanical engineering, and earned a master's degree there in 1989. She completed her Ph.D. in 1993 at Northwestern University.[2] Her doctoral advisor was Herbert S. Cheng.[3]
Research
editWang’s group has developed theories, models, and methods for understanding and simulation of tribological interfaces and for industrial research and development.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The scope of the work includes novel design of tribological surfaces, establishment of unified computational methodologies with a focus on efficient computing, establishment of accurate modeling of transient and steady state tribological responses in polymers, and pioneering methods for the tribological response of materials under strain.
Recognition
editWang was named a Fellow of the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE) in 2007,[2] and an ASME Fellow in 2009.[14] She won the Ralph R. Teetor Educational Award in 2000[1] and in 2015 the STLE awarded her the STLE International Award, which is considered their highest technical award.[2] She has also won numerous best-paper awards,[1] and her research publications have been cited more than 12,000 times as of September 2022.[15]
Professional service
editWang's service with STLE includes Chief Editor for the Encyclopedia of Tribology,[16] Chair, 2011-2012, STLE Fellows Committee, Chair, 2011 ASME/STLE International Joint Tribology Conference, and Chair, 2008 STLE Annual Meeting Program Committee.
Wang worked with fellow engineer at Northwestern Yip-Wah Chung to edit the Encyclopedia of Tribology.[17][18]
