Steel as apost-doctoralResearch Fellow from 2014 to 2017.He is now an A/professor in sedimentology and stratigraphy at the Department of Geosciences of the China University of Petroleum (Beijing).
Academic Activities
?Associate Editor:
AAPG Bulletin Associate Editor (January 2016 to present)
Marine Geology (invitation to be on the editorial board received)
?Reviewer for articles:
Dozens of articles reviewed for: AAPG Bulletin, GSA Bulletin, Marine and Petroleum Geology (the Best Reviewer), Marine Geology, Sedimentology, Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, Deep Sea Research II, and Sedimentary Geology

My research interests mainly focus onthe following three aspects: (1) sediment partitioning along deep-water segments of source-to-sink sediment-routing systems; (2) flow processes and sedimentation in submarine channels; and (3) gravity-flow depositional systems.

Industry Experience
All of my academic research has been collectively funded by the petroleum industry, which has provided me with opportunities to interact and collaborate with researchers in the oil and gas industry. Additionally, I completed my master’s theses and doctoral dissertation in CNOOC, PetroChina and SINOPEC totaling more than 3 years with industry patterns. Lastly, I worked for the Beijing Huayoumingxin Energy Technology Co., Ltd as a principal sedimentologistfor nearly one year. I, therefore, have strong industry experience.
