Wang Yurong (female, Han nationality) was born in Qingdao in February 1992 and is a member of the Communist Party of China. Now she is mainly engaged in the design and preparation of high-performance gel lubricating materials and their tribological properties under elastohydrodynamic/hybrid lubrication. She graduated from the State Key Laboratory of Solid Lubrication, Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the tutelage of Prof. Feng Zhou. During the master's and doctoral period, he mainly carried out research on the principle, system construction and performance of new self-constrained lubricating materials, as well as the preparation and tribological performance of a variety of high-efficiency ionic liquid lubricating additives. In July 2019, I came to the Key Laboratory of Tribology and Advanced Surface Engineering of Shandong Province to study for a Ph.D. in Qingdao Technological University School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering. My co-supervisor was Professor Guo Feng. During the post-doctoral period, the research on the friction characteristics of oil additives under elastohydrodynamic lubrication was mainly carried out. At present, he has accumulated rich experience in the design and preparation of gel lubricants, the design and preparation of multifunctional ionic liquids, physical and chemical properties and surface morphology characterization, point contact oil film measurement, elastohydrodynamic theory and lubrication mechanism. In recent years, certain achievements have been made in the design and preparation of lubricating additives and tribological research. They have been published in ACS Sustainable Chem. Eng.; Tribol. Int.; Tribol. Lett.; Adv. Mater. Interfaces and Friction at home and abroad. More than 10 related academic papers have been published in influential journals, including 7 first-author papers, 5 patent applications, and 2 authorized patents.
