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.
