Ms. Lin Chen | Health, Safety, and Environment | Best Researcher Award

Ms. Lin Chen | State Key Laboratory of Solid Lubrication | China

Ms. Lin Chen is an Assistant Researcher whose work centers on advanced materials science and tribology. With a strong academic foundation, his research explores the behavior of frictional interfaces under gas-rich environments, particularly methane. He has contributed to high-impact journals such as Chemical Engineering Journal, Tribology, Wear, Tribology Letters, and Surface and Coatings Technology. His studies focus on optimizing the tribological performance of kinematic pairs and developing quantitative models that link friction coefficients of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films with operating parameters such as gas pressure and sliding velocity in methane environments.
