GRADUATE SUPERVISION

I am available for supervision. Over the past five years, I have supervised and graduated 10 PhDs and MrDs. He has long focused on research on wheel/rail tribology in railway transit. He established the international advanced experimental evaluation technology system for high-speed wheel/rail rolling fatigue and wear coupling damage. He has headed over 10 projects including the national key R&D program intergovernmental key items for international scientific and technological innovation cooperation, national natural science foundation of China (3 projects), Sichuan key R&D program, etc. He won the first prize of natural science of the ministry of education (rank 2), first prize of Sichuan science and technology progress award (rank 3), Sichuan youth science and technology award, excellent doctoral thesis of Sichuan province, special prize of ZHAN Tianyou railway science and technology award, high-impact academic paper of China Surface Engineering, etc.
