Chongfeng Wei  is a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering of University  of Birmingham, he has a favourable knowledge in both mathematics and vehicle dynamics, as he has completed his BSc in Mathematics in Southwest Jiaotong University in China, and has concentrated most of his research in vehicle system dynamics during his MSc study.

He has engaged in a study on "Time domain Track irregularities and its influence on wheel set longitudinal vibration" in his postgraduate study, and also finished a project titled “Dynamics analysis & simulation of 140km/h metro car”. In his PhD programme, vehicle system dynamics and tyre dynamics are Mr. Wei’s research interests.
