Prof. WONG Pat Lam Patrick (黃柏林)

Main Research Activities

1. Tribology

   • Actively involved in Tribology research for over two decades.
   • Developed an efficient and robust technique for the measurement of a wide lubricating film thickness range from micro to nanometers.
   • Currently studying on lubrication system with film thickness ranging from micro to nano scales.

2. Rolling element bearings

   • Life of rolling ball bearings in contaminated conditions through tailored experiment, microscopy and finite-element modeling.
   • New lubrication mechanism for bearings running under zero entrainment condition.

3. Interfacial slippage

   • Successfully developed a novel lubrication means to facilitate effective lubrication of parallel faces – a common feature in micro/nano systems based on the principle of interfacial slippage between the fluid and solid surfaces.
