I am currently a lecturer at the School of Future Cities, University of Science and Technology Beijing, specializing in blasting technology, geotechnical engineering, and damage assessment, etc. I earned my Ph.D. in Geotechnical Engineering from the China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing), where I was co-advised by Prof. Dongming Guo, Prof. Renshu Yang and Prof. Liyun Yang. Before that, I did my civil engineering bachelors at CUMTB.

Blasting is widely used in mining, nuclear power, national defense engineering, railway, highway, urban subway tunnel construction, etc. It is very difficult for people to accurately grasp the blasting mechanism because of the transient nature of the blasting process, the randomness of the explosion cracks, and the heterogeneity and discontinuous anisotropy of the rock mass. Exploring the mechanism of blasting, making full use blasting energy and putting forward efficient blasting technology are the main work at PhD period.
Using experimental and CDEM methods, the medium blasting damage with different distance between blasthole and free boundary is quantitatively evaluated. The experimental results and numerical simulation results are in good agreement.The distance between blasthole and free boundary affects the efficiency of blasting energy destroying medium and the blasting failure pattern.
The dynamic caustics method is an experimental method widely used in the study of dynamic fracture in optical mechanics, especially in the study of the singularity of crack tip. Our team have done a lot of research work in caustics. I would like to say, caustic is very COOL!
In hard rock deep hole blasting excavation, blast-holes are rarely utilized due to the clamping effect of rock. A two-step cutting technology is put forward. Results showed good blasting effects for two-step cutting technology through theoretical analysis and engineering applications. And a interesting thing is that the best proportion is close to Golden Section 0.618 (The Lower/ The whole).
I'm interested in blasting related(theory, technology and application), caustics method, and intelligent mining.
