Dr. Gengxiang Wang joined the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology as a tenured Associate Professor (Ph.D. advisor) in June 2022. In 2024, he was awarded the title of “Sanqin Talent” in Shaanxi Province. In 2023, he received the EU Marie Curie Fellowship. From June 2020 to May 2022, he worked as a Boya Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Peking University, conducting research on impact dynamics. From September 2015 to September 2017, he was a joint Ph.D. student at the University of Illinois at Chicago, focusing on modeling and simulation of flexible multibody systems.
His main research areas include the dynamic modeling and simulation of flexible multibody systems, covering topics such as parallel mechanism dynamics and type synthesis, contact and collision, flexible deformation, wear prediction, and the development of 3D printing equipment. He has led or participated in seven research projects, including the General and Key Projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). He has published over 30 papers in renowned journals, including Chaos, Solitons and Fractals, Mechanical System and Signal Processing, International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, Mechanism and Machine Theory, Applied Mathematical Modelling, ASME Journal of Mechanical and Robotics, Journal of Sound and Vibration, as well as Chinese Journal of Mechanics and Journal of Mechanical Engineering (29 as first author, 10 in top-tier Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journals). He has 21 SCI-indexed papers and 8 EI-indexed papers, including two review articles published in Chinese Journal of Mechanics in 2015 and 2022. He is the first inventor on 1 international invention patent, 12 national invention patents, and 4 utility model patents.

In 2018, he received the Second Prize of Shaanxi Provincial Science and Technology Award (second place). In December 2019, he won the Shaanxi Provincial Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award, and in September 2021, he was honored with the Award for Highly Cited Academic Papers in Beijing. He serves as a guest editor for the journal Actuators.
