Brief Introduction
I am an associate professor and a doctoral supervisor in Solid Earth Geophysics. My research interests involve: 1) Physical-chemical properties and isotope fractionation factors of minerals at high temperature and high pressure by means of first-principles calculation; 2) Geodynamic processes and ore-forming processes using FEM; 3) Thermal conductivity, elasticity, and other properties of multi-mineral rocks using FEM.
