Ouyang Wengen

Wengen Ouyang has served as a Professor and doctoral supervisor in the Department of Engineering Mechanics at Wuhan University. He mainly engaged in research in the fields of interface physics and mechanics, applied non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, and structural superlubricity.
Currently, he is dedicated to constructing theoretical models, developing efficient computational methods, and establishing accurate in-situ measurement platforms to investigate the microscopic mechanisms of friction and wear at van der Waals interfaces. He has authored over 50 peer-reviewed scientific papers published in esteemed international journals such as Nature, Nature Communications, Physical Review Letters, Advanced Materials, and Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids. The computational methods developed by him have been integrated into the widely-used open-source software LAMMPS and have been extensively applied, leading to the acquisition of two software copyrights.
Additionally, he teaches undergraduate courses in "Plastic Mechanics" and "Tensor Analysis," as well as graduate courses in "Physical Mechanics" and "Continuum Mechanics." He also serves as a reviewer for various international journals, including Physical Review Letters, Nano Letters, and Advanced Materials.
