Biography

I am an associate professor at College of Geosciences, China University of Petroleum (Beijing). My research mainly focuses on the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of sedimentary basins, particularly where the salt-controlled structures and deep-water sedimentation interact. I have worked closely with industry in multiple research projects in the last couple of years. Currently I am working a project studying driven forces of salt tectonics and the associated structural and kinematic evolution in salt-bearing passive margins.

Research Method

Subsurface Data Analysis

Subsurface data, particularly high quality 3D seismic data, can provide geologists an opportunity to see geological features in the past

Analogume Modelling

Sandbox modelling with digital image correlation (DIC) technique allows us to observe 3D surface deformation of the model evolution at high spatial and temporal resolution

Numerical Simulation

Numerical simulation of turbidity current gives a whole set of hydraulic parameters of the flow permitting a detailed analysis of flow evolution

Postdoc opportunity

I am looking for one postdoc working on the interaction between salt tectonics and sedimentation. If you are interested and have good programming skills, you are welcome to apply.

I am interested!

Research opportunity

I am looking for one or two research assistants at undergraduate level working on a project. It can be developed into bacholar thesis. If you are interested and have good seismic interpretation and programming skills, you are welcome to drop me an email with your cv or a short introduction.

I am interested!
