Jing Zhao is an Associate Professor in the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering at Bengbu University, where she received her Master's degree in engineering. Her research interests include parameter optimization for additive manufacturing (3D printing), evaluation of friction and wear performance, and the application of multi-criteria decision-making methods. She has led and participated in several research projects funded by the Department of Education of Anhui Province. She has published more than ten papers in domestic and international journals, including one paper in the prestigious Ceramics International in 2026. She holds four authorized invention patents as the first inventor, two of which have been successfully commercialized and applied to the optimization of process parameters for wear-resistant additive-manufactured components. Since joining Bengbu University, she has served as Teaching Assistant, Lecturer, and currently Associate Professor. She teaches core mechanical courses such as Mechanics of Materials and Design of Experiments, and has long-term supervised undergraduate students in high-level academic competitions. Her students have won more than ten national and provincial awards in competitions including the National College Students Advanced Graphics and Product Information Modeling Competition, the National 3D Digital Design Competition, and the China College Students 'Internet+' Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition.
