Janet Wong is a Reader in the Tribology group of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Imperial College London. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2008, with a dissertation focused on the physics of confined polymers. She joined Imperial College shortly thereafter and has since specialized in interface phenomena, polymer dynamics, and nano-tribology. Her pioneering work includes the application of fluorescence spectroscopy for imaging in-situ measurements of velocity profiles, viscosity, and additive interactions in phase stability of fluids under tribological contacts in extreme conditions. Dr. Wong's research group concentrates on establishing relationships between the properties of bulk fluids and confinement, test conditions, and their resultant mechanical responses. Additionally, her group is interested in interfacial phenomena, corrosion, adsorption, depositions, and film formations. They work closely with numerical analysts to develop effective and efficient strategies for industry, with funding from governmental agencies and industry in Europe and Asia. Dr. Wong is actively seeking PhD candidates for research in Experimental Mechanochemistry.
