Biography

Wenyi works in the Faculty of Engineering at Monash University as a Senior Lecturer.

He was raised and educated in China. He received his Bachelor Degree in Engineering with first class honours from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 1989 and his Masters of Science Degree in Engineering from the same university in 1992. He obtained his PhD degree from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 1995. After that, he spent over five years as a research fellow in Europe, including over three years at University of Leoben, Austria, and two years at Imperial College London, the United Kingdom. Wenyi moved to Australia at the end of 2000. He first worked as a research fellow at the University of Sydney and then lectured at University of Southern Queensland and Deakin University. Wenyi joined Monash University as a senior lecturer in 2007. His research interests include mechanical behaviours of advanced materials, biomechanics, fracture, fatigue and wear. Wenyi has been awarded five research grants from Australian Research Council since 2006. Currently, he is supervising and co-supervising over 7 postgraduate research students. In total, Wenyi has published 2 book chapters, 71 journal papers and 31 conference papers. His H-index for paper citations is 13.
