Biography:

Bangchun Wen is an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He was born in September 1930 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and originally hails from Wenling, Zhejiang. He graduated from the Mechanical Engineering Department of Northeast Institute of Technology with a master's degree in 1957. He is currently a professor at the School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation at Northeastern University and serves as the Honorary Director of the Institute of Mechanical Design and Theory. He is a member of the Chinese Committee of IFToMM (International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science), a committee member of the International Rotor Dynamics Technical Committee, a member of the Advisory Committee of the Asia-Pacific Vibration Conference, and the Honorary President of the Chinese Society for Vibration Engineering. 

Prof. Wen has served as a member of the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, a member of the second, third, and fourth mechanical engineering review groups of the State Council Degree Committee, the President of the Chinese Society for Vibration Engineering, and the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Vibration Engineering. He was also the Director of the Academic Committee of the National Key Laboratory of Vibration, Impact, and Noise at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. In 1984, he was recognized as one of the first batch of outstanding young and middle-aged experts in China. In 1991, he was elected as an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Academician Fellow). Professor Wen Bangchun has systematically researched and developed a new discipline that combines vibration science and machinery, called "Vibration Utilization Engineering." He has also investigated rotor dynamics, nonlinear vibration theory and applications in mechanical systems, vibration diagnosis of mechanical faults, comprehensive design theory, mechatronics, and various issues related to engineering machinery theory. He has published over 700 papers and authored or edited 28 monographs and conference proceedings. He has supervised more than 100 graduate students, with 87 obtaining master's degrees and 61 earning doctoral degrees. He has also guided 10 postdoctoral researchers and one visiting scholar from each of Russia and Kazakhstan. He has completed dozens of major national and horizontal research projects, including major projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation, general projects, and the 973 and 863 projects. He has been awarded two international prizes, four national awards, and 15 provincial or ministerial awards, as well as nine national patents. Several of his research outcomes have reached an internationally advanced level, resulting in significant economic and social benefits.
