Dr. Lu Fang defended her thesis, on November 14, 2022. Dr. Fang’s defense focused on “Enabling Ultra-Low Viscosity Lubricants Through Fundamental Understanding of ZDDPs Anti-Wear Additives and their Tribofilm Growth Mechanisms”. When asked how she felt having completed this final step in her Ph.D. journey, Fang replied “Time goes by really fast and I really enjoyed it here. Without people by my side, I wouldn’t have made it today. At Penn, people collaborate here and when I have any questions I can just ask the professors who always helped me. It is really great to be a member in this community.”
