Professor Junlan Wang received her Bachelor of Science and Master of Engineering degrees in Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1994 and 1997, respectively, and her Doctor of Philosophy degree in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2002. She joined the University of California, Riverside in 2003 after spending one year as a post-doctoral research associate at Brown University.
Research Topics
Dr. Wang’s research interests are in the fields of nano and micromechanics of materials. In particular, she is interested in developing new experimental techniques complemented by theoretical modeling and numerical analysis to study the mechanical behavior of thin films and other small-featured structures, mechanics of interfaces and surfaces. Her recent research includes characterization of thin film adhesion, scale bridging in fabrication and property testing of nano and microstructures, surface roughness evolution and residual stress development caused by nano-scale contact.
