Previous Teaching/working Experience
1992.7- now, been working in college of Geoscience, China University of Petroleum,Beijing
2009.9-2010.2, Visiting scholar of University of California, Los angeles (UCLA), USA.
During 1988-1991, I was an assistant of G. A. Davis in metamorphic core complex research program funded by China Natural Scientific Foundation.
After worked at China University of Petroleum since July 1992, I primarily engaged in research work on sandbox modeling, reservoir fracture prediction, basin structure analysis and tectonic stress field, and the teaching work on “Plate tectonics”, “Basin analysis”, and “Field trip in Xishan mountain”.
During 1992-1996, I was responsible for the construction and research work of “tectonophysics simulation laboratory” Funded by CNPC (Lab director). The research achievements of sandbox modeling was sent to 30th IGC-(Beijing, 1996) 15th World Petroleum Congress(Beijing ,1996) on display by R & D Department representing for the achievements of China University of Petroleum.
During working at China University of Petroleum since 1992, I have been responsible for or participated in 26 research projects on the whole, such as “Basin structural styles in eastern China’, "Construction and its application of tectonophysics simulation laboratory", "Fracture network of Renqiu buried oil fields", “The fracture origin and distribution in Western Qaidam basin”, “The fine description and evaluation of fracture network of Futai buried hill oil reservoir”, “The construction of balanced geological cross-section and tectonic evolution of Block B ,Rub'Al Khali Basin”, “Fault system analysis and its relationship with the accumulation of oil and gas in Weixinan Depression, Beibuwan basin”, “Tectonic evolution and its impact on the regional geological conditions of accumulation of oil and gas in Liaohe Western Depression, Bohai Bay basin”, “The distribution and evolution of fault system, and structural style in Nanpu Depression, Bohai Bay basin” ,“Quantitative model research of tectonic fracture distribution in superimposed deformation area --A case study of Futai Buried hill in Bohai Bay Basin area”(funded by NSF of China)etc.
